De Larrea shot 42.9% from three in 23 ACB games for Valencia and scored 21 off the bench against the Spurs on Oct. 24. I’m watching how he handles ball pressure and whether his pull-up can make bigs come out to guard him.

I see the resemblance in the pick-and-roll. Nash changed speeds, drew the big out with his pull-up and found the roller or a shooter. De Larrea can see over smaller defenders and find the roller or the weak-side corner. He can also shoot off the catch.

He crashes the glass, finishes inside and can switch. He grabbed 17 boards vs. Utah, 10 on the offensive end. A credible corner three would help him fit alongside Lively.

23.9 PPG / 6.8 RPG / 6.4 APG (8 GP, 2026–27)
The reigning Rookie of the Year creates off the drive, pushes the break and makes plays as a help defender. A steadier pull-up jumper would make him even harder to guard late in games.

7.0 PPG / 5.1 RPG / 1.6 APG (9 GP, 2026–27)
A long wing who cuts well, spots up and covers ground on defense. A steadier three and better decisions attacking closeouts could make him a long-term starter next to Flagg.
