Larry Nance, Jr. thinks it would be cool to enter the dunk contest

Larry Nance, Jr. was initially the much less heralded of the Los Angeles Lakers two first round picks in the the 2015 NBA Draft. In fact, many panned the selection of Nance, Jr. on draft night, calling it a reach. Nance, Jr. answered those critics with solid minutes off of the bench during the preseason and since entering the regular season rotation for the Lakers. He has been surprisingly effective as a defender as well as a bench celebration master.

What Nance, Jr. has become best known for, however, are his emphatic dunks.
