I see way more Duncan than Nowitski, personally. Duncan was a smart player from a young age, not freakishly* athletic, but read the game, passed well, rebounded well, had a reliable post-game, and an all-around impact. When I think of Nowitski I think of a jump shot and scoring artist at all ranges. It's Turkish Tim for me.
Well since Shengun is 19 years old it's a bit offensive to nickname him after any great player yet. This is the risk people run when they always name guard prospects after Jordan. But what the hey.
I actually thought of that as well, but I decided that being called a “Turd” in any part of a nickname would be kinda shi**y! Spoiler ……. ……. …….
Right now his name is just Alperen Sengun. Needs to show something in the NBA against starter level competition.
