Dude your not exactly going out on a limb there lol

Last time I brought this up a few guys posted paragraphs about how I was wrong. Nurk is mediocre at best.

 

[andalusian]

Sharpe just made a three pointer but hey, let's have Winslow be our second option.

Until Sharpe's handle improves, he needs others to create for him. That's the biggest thing he needs to work on, imho

 

[MickZagger]

Wow KP has a squad he built for the Pacers. Great Gm

Nembhard was a good pick. Just a solid PG. Nothing flashy just plays solid basketball

 

[Idog1976]

Decent game so far.

 

[Chris Craig]

Turner is better than Nurk, don’t care what anyone says.

He is, especially right now with Nurk out of shape. I think Turner would be better with this Blazer team.

him, sharpe, and mathurin are a very solid canadian representation in this draft class.

 

[Idog1976]

Oof Nas dancing with crutches. Lmfao!

they're different players.

think people forget how much we ask of nurk on defense. turner would struggle with some of the tasks nurk succeeds at.

 

[BlazerBeav]

As usual, he doesn’t get enough credit for it, but perfect screen by Nurk to give Dame that open three. He is an excellent screener.

 

[Idog1976]

Dame looks like Dame again. I swear some huge amount of the time the past ten years when Dame is less than Superb (other than teams doubling him etc in playoffs) its because he's playing hurt.

turner is whiteside esque in that aspect and is continually frustrated when he doesn't get the kickback for the pick and pop.

 

[riverman]

Good to see Dame and Nurk start off strong..Dame with 11 Nurk with 9 already

 

[Cugel]

Turner makes 5mil a year more. He should be better. Question is, you wanna pay him the max he thinks he's worth next year?

 

[Idog1976]

Beautiful transition basketball. Defense to offense.

This is a very solid point.

 

[Idog1976]

Nurk is starting to be a reliable 3pt shooter...

Homerism is a disease

 

[illmatic99]

nurk hits threes at 41%

 

[AldoTrapani]

Great trade for Halliburton too. Then picking Mathruin number 6 instead of Sharpe

 

[crandc]

Chucking too many threes. Get high percentage shot.

 

[illmatic99]

feel free to put a body on turner

 

[riverman]

JOSH HART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Idog1976]

Hart is pure grit, heart, and soul. We can have him in SF as long as Ant, Dame and Grant are all healthy. I still don’t like Hart, Winslow and Watford lineups. Man when is GPII coming back?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Grant terrible tonight

 

[Mr. Robot]

too many layups for indiana, chauncey better do something about it

 

[Idog1976]

Sharpe with the Hockey Assist. Heady play by rookie to penetrate, not force it, and find the open shooter.

 

[illmatic99]

really nice play by shaedon there on both ends

 

[riverman]

Good first half for Dame's return.

 

[Mr. Robot]

really balanced shooting from the starting unit, everyone getting shots

Pritchard wouldn't trade him to the Blazers anyway.
