Did he hit the last one? If so, that’s VERY impressive.

Yes he did. As we have seen from this video and other videos before the lockdown, Nurk has been showing a very nice shooting from the 3 point land. I expect that to be a part of his game moving forward in an attempt to have him be more skilled and less reliant on strength which hopefully in turn help him become less injury prone

It’s nice to shoot the three, but I still want to see him around the basket, too. He’s got a lot of skills down there, and I’d hate to see him turn into another Rasheed Wallace.

Yeah I agree with you. I think he will be a little more like Arvydas Sabonis. Nurk will still have that imposing post game he can always go to but with a 3 point game he can take the offense to the next level. This will also allow Collin to post up without being double team. The offense really does open up when your center can shoot 3s

I bet we see that happen especially with a line up like the Lakers.

yup. Whiteside can stick with AD and Nurk can handle McGee. I remember when Stotts played Meyers with Plumlee, so it’s not that crazy of an idea. Plumlee was more agile but he also doesn’t have Whitesides length which often makes up for a lot of things. Blowing by him doesn’t mean much. I remember when he was with Miami and Lillard would consistently get him on a switch and blow by him only to get his shot packed at the rim.
 
So we should play Nurk and Hassan together based off Nurkic hitting 4 threes in practice?

Neither one of them have come close to proving they can effectively space the court or guard PFs...

I would not. As long as the team has Collins. Zach is a better option to guard a Power Forward. But what do i know? Maybe try it a couple times and see what happens? Every game is different? Foul trouble and injuries could have an effect.

I doubt we'll ever see them play together since the season isn't going to happen.

Oh, it's going to happen, to much money would be lost and if the cancel the season the owners can rip up the existing collective bargaining agreement. I doubt players want that to happen at this point.
Players will be given the option to play or not but the I don't see them cancelling the season.

I disagree on Nurk not spacing the floor. Dame and CJ got more, easier paths to the hoop, than ever before with Nurk on the court. And since his injury, have had a harder time getting unscathed on the way to the hoop. Nurk is a very good spacer.

I'm talking shooting, not screens.

Nice. That'll stretch the defense a bit. If he can do that consistently, the margin between Nurk and Jokic pretty much disappears.

what’s funny is Jokic isn’t even that good of a three point shooter. He’s been hovering around 30% the last couple of seasons. But with his playmaking you still have to respect it. If Nurkic can shoot at least 30% out there, he’ll get the same respect.
 
e_blazer said:
Yeah, as far as assists goes, Jokic is clearly better over his career. That said, I think we’ve forgotten how Nurk was progressing before his injury:

That very last assist was very impressive. I don’t think Nurkic will ever catch Jokic in passing term of the number and stuff simply because Jokic is the main guy on that team while Nurkic is the 2nd option. However Nurkic is better at defense and they’re about the same on rebounding. Now the margin that e_blazer was talking about was if Nurkic can shoot well from 3s that margin actually does disappear. Someone mention that Jokic shoot around 30% from 3s so there is an opportunity for Nurkic to beat him there. If Nurkic can shoot even 35%, which is league average, then the rivalry between him and Jokic will only continue to grow

We all know that shoot arounds and pregame warmups are much different than game play right? I remember watching plums do the same thing. Also Aminu. Would drain them in pregame. Brick in the game.


Just sayin, I wouldn't get hopes too high on outside shooting from Nurk is all.

I do like the conditioning part. Making those shots moving like that is nice to see.
He isn't just standing in the corner shooting 6 straight threes.
