Larry Nance Jr. anchors the Lakers No. 7 jersey story, linking 80 seasons of Lakers lore from Minneapolis to Los Angeles. Drafted 27th in 2015 from Wyoming, he became a high-flying, hard-nosed rebounder who embodied energy and rim finishing.

Traded to Cleveland in 2017-18, he spent several seasons there before returning this summer as a free agent, with Cleveland pursuing its first East Finals since 2018. The piece frames the Lakers’ roster depth and lineage, placing Nance within that enduring history for fantasy rosters.
