Just came across this video of Larry Nance Jr doing a good job defending against Joel Embiid.
I know he is not the miraculous "Embiid Stopper" and this was before Embiid reached his MVP level of play, but he could be very useful as another guy to throw at Embiid in the playoffs.
He is pesky on defense and seems to be pretty well rounded offensively, a smart 2-way player with excellent physical tools. He would fit right in with many lineups.
I'm not sure on how high cleveland values him, but if we could get him for the TPE, picks, carsen edwards (he seems to be playing well in cleveland) I would love to get him, hope the rumors are true!

He is athletic and would get better results than some of our guys who don't have any.
