downhill guard with playmaking juice, but the efficiency has to catch up
In the 2024-25 season at UT Rio Grande Valley, RJ Nance appeared in 22 games and averaged 1.7 points, 0.9 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game, with shooting splits of 27.8% from the field, 16.1% from three, and 37.5% at the line. He’s a 6-2 guard whose best traits are pressure on the ball, willingness to attack the lane, and a combo-guard mindset that can create for teammates. The long-term appeal is his downhill style and toughness; the immediate question is whether his shot-making consistency can rise to match his energy and competitiveness.
