Puff Johnson needs to do a little better than an 8-22 hot streak to start the year for me to worry about him being a floor spacer and season changer for Carolina. The only advantages I see in Puff over Nance are less turnovers and offensive rebounding. Not sure that tradeoff is worth it when your starting lineup is in dire need of floor spacing because of Bacot and Black. Nance looks bad compared to Manek, but he looks like Manek when compared to Puff.
I thought UNC's half court defense was pretty good with Nance, and that he shut Flip down multiple times.
