With the Bucks organization, Nance will likely play with Akron native Chris Livingston , who spent his high school hoops days with Buchtel in Akron as a freshman and junior, Western Reserve Academy in Hudson as a sophomore and Oak Hill Academy in Virginia as a senior.

A 2023 second-round draft pick, Livingston has appeared in 12 games with the Bucks and 18 with the G League's Wisconsin Herd this season. This season, he's averaging 1.2 points and 1.6 rebounds in the NBA and 18.1 points and 8.1 rebounds in the G League.
