[Vids] Nurkic flourishing in Portland

He looks like an up and coming Sabonis, with less fancy passing.

 

Nuggets have been drafting well lately. They have enought young assets to make some noise in a year or 2.

 

Blazers vs Warriors first round is going to be fun.

 

Weird development, most Denver fans said he plain sucked this season and wanted him gone.

Looks like he didn't have any motivation and intentionally played mediocre.

 

He looks like a different player. More mobile, better body control. His passes remind me of Sabonis.

 

I've loved this guy's game since his rookie year, he played like a cocky Marc Gasol. I wanted to trade for him but oh well. Blazers now officially better than the Warriors without KD.

 

FIFY

 

Cocky is a good description for Nurkic. He's definitely displays some personality on the floor.

 

Well, maybe not call him superstar just yet for destroying Okafur and Philly. Gortat frustrated him all night tonight.

How do you end up with a -22 in an overtime 1pt loss and the guy matched up with you, Gortat, has a +26?

 

Well, his beast-mode stats of 28-20-6 with 8 blocks against Okafur and Philly might be an aberration.

Cousins shut him down. That's the 3rd bad game against large bigs who he can't push around: Gortat, Cousins and Valanciunas ... along with Drummond outplaying him. He did dominate Adams, though.

He was noticeably frustrated against Gortat and Cousins....and Valanciunas seems to rise to the occasion to play his eastern block comrades.

 

Morey missed the boat by not trading for this guy.

A perfect fit for this team.

 

fire him immediately
