As the son of former NBA All-Star Larry Nance and brother of current NBA player Larry Nance Jr., Pete Nance comes from a basketball family that has previously found success in the league.

The Northwestern star will now take his chance at following in his family's footsteps in the NBA.

Notably, Pete Nance will maintain his eligibility should he decide that he does not like his projected draft status, which means he can return to NCAA basketball for another season.

While not quite as successful in college as his brother and father, Nance is still a quality player in his own right. He does not excel in any area, but he can contribute all across the stat sheet for an NBA team.

Pete Nance's contributions helped Northwestern find some success, but the team did not have a great season. Because Nance was a good player on a mediocre team, he will have to have a robust draft process to help his draft stock.

Still, Pete Nance's genetics will have some teams interested in drafting him or signing him to an NBA Summer League or NBA G-League contract. Once he is in the league, Nance will get to prove that he is on the level of his family members.
