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.

im more interested in his agility and footspeed myself as well. We have shooters. We need him outstepping others in the paint.

Yeah, its cool and all to see him hit some outside shots, but its not gonna be a regular thing when the season starts, id put money on it.



Wait. We have Stott's as a coach. I could be wrong on this.
 
It always good to put another skill in your offense arsenal for Nurk but his bread and butter will be the pick n roll.
 
Nurk merch is the pinnacle of hipster, can’t wait to confuse everyone with a Bosnian beast beanie.
 
His merch is kind of a let down. I’ll support it, but where the Bosnian beast beanie at doggg
 


Nurkic splashing 3s. I am starting to think that it’s reasonable that Nurkic should be able to at the very least be close to league average for 3 point. His form is looking good. I wouldn’t be surprised if he knock down 35% of his 3s

What makes you think that? Practice clips? He's never come close to shooting 35% on volume from 3. We need to see it over multiple games before we get our expectations that high. Even Hassan can consistently make 3s just shooting around. Apparently Tacko Fall does too...

It's definitely possible, but not something we should expect.

It's not just practice clips. Stotts has said it too. He should know better than anyone.

It's not just practice clips? Okay, show me the statistics from NBA games where Nurkic has shot the 3pt shot well.

Stotts has said he's shot well in practice. Did I miss something?

Dude I say that it was reasonable. I didn’t say I was expecting it. And if he does knock down at league average then we shouldn’t be surprised from all the practice clips we’ve seen. And I like to share with you one example from the past that may give you hope. Before the 2016/17 season Marc Gasol was a career 18% 3 point shooter (12/66). But during that season Marc Gasol broke out as a 3 point shooter, shooting 38.8% on 3.6 attempt a game. Since then he has remained a very good shooter from that range, especially for a big man. Now Nurkic so far in his career has been a 7% from 3s. Last year he was shooting 10%. I am NOT expecting Nurkic to make as big as a jump that Marc Gasol has but that it’s reasonable that he be close to league average, like at least 30%. And eventually it will get to league average. It’s obvious Nurkic is working very hard to include 3 point shot in his game, like he’s actually moving around knocking down 3 point shot and not just standing still and shooting it like what we see from Hassan and other guys like Tacko Fall, Dwight Howard, Javale McGee, and I for one like to think that hard work will pay off.

Because you saw him make 5 in a gym with no one guarding him?

In those videos he actually knock down 18. Yeah nobody is guarding him but I don’t think he will be taking those shot if someone is guarding him, I think if they do he will take advantage and pass to a player cutting to the basket like what you may have seen in the other video where Nurkic passed to a cutting Dame from the 3 point line. Nurkic just need to knock down open 3s

If Nurk is knocking down open threes, this team doesn’t need that elusive third scorer they’ve been looking for/needing, not even joking. That would be a massive development. He’s Marc Gasol if that happens.

We got that third scorer in Melo anyhow. Things are looking really positive for our versatility both on offence and Defense. I knew I loved this team when fully healthy.

I assume that the third scoring option that you mention is in regard to long term needs, because right, now with Carmelo at the 3, the Blazers have big time scoring potential at 4 positions. Collins at the 4 is likely to develop into a 5th, IMO. Scoring is definitely not an issue. Defense? Well, let's just hope that the bigs can cover for the rather porous defense of Melo and CJ. If not, scoring in big bunches will certainly be needed.

Yeah I meant next year, although I’m rooting for Melo to work at the three so we can bring him back. Otherwise, he’s just taking minutes from Zach because you know Stotts will play him a lot.

Do you think Melo will stay if we make a good playoff run? I think he might.

If he leaves, who would you want to try to replace him with?

Honestly, Id really like to bring the full roster back for next season. including hood, Ariza and Melo.

I think we can win it all with everyone healthy.

I think it depends on how he handles the three. If he can’t, then Id probably let him go and sign someone like Marvin Williams. Someone that doesn’t need to start/play heavy minutes, but can still contribute in the rotation.

But yeah if he doesn’t look lost, there are enough minutes to go around to make a run at it next season. Same with Whiteside.

I've made 30 in a row before. I'm definitely not hitting many in an NBA game.
