Jusuf Nurkic (thread)

[Orion Bailey]

I'm so glad the season is starting ten days earlier this year!

Where is the schedule????

Well no schedule but they announced that the NBA regular season would start on October 17th about ten days earlier than normal.

Nurk is working on his ball handling and shooting according to his instagram. He looks good, but he's playing against chairs so who knows. (I'd challenge Meyers to mimic his dribbling though)

This guy will be 23 at the start of the season. Man. He looks downright skinny, and that handle looks legit for a guy his size.

 

[chzbrgr]

He is going to be a fucking monster

 

[bodyman5000 and 1]

He's even practicing against our own defensive philosophy!!! He's bought in to our culture fully...yippee!!!!

 

[dviss1]

It would be truly awesome if he made it and Jokic didn't.

If you think the DEN fans are salty now, can you imagine the crocodile tears if that happened?

BNM

I would add salt and GULP THOSE DOWN!!

 

[mook]

Damn look at THOSE LEGS !

And it looks like he's wearing shoulder pads in that pic. He really is looking in good shape. I'm really excited about this coming season.

 

[Mediocre Man]

I love how he's emulating going against Dame and CJ in Blazer practice by using those chairs as defense.

Now seeiously. I LOVE Nurk. I peay he stays healthy

I know one thing, Nurk is a master at marketing himself. I mean that in a good way. The guy works hard, but also lets everyone know about it. Builds his brand and makes everyone feel good about it at the same time.

Definitely. He's a pretty charismatic guy who seems to be taking lessons from Lillard about building his reputation (a la the License to Lillard vids).

He seems to really be relishing the change of scenery from Denver. It reminds me a lot of the way Zach Randolph rehabilitated his image in Memphis. Never in a million years did I think an entire fanbase would clamor to retire Z-bo's number, and yet here we are.

15 years from now, we'll all want to retire Z-Bo's number too. A different name will be on it, but that's beside the point.

I think, of the guys we'd be willing to trade, Vonleh and Harkless have the highest value (not that that's saying a lot). I'd like to see Collins play before trading Vonleh, because Vonleh proved to be our best defensive player and started becoming a capable offensive player when paired with Nurkic. And I think trading Harkless would be a big mistake unless we're getting an equally good, or better, SF in return. So personally, I think it's probably best to not trade these guys (unless it's a no-brainer) or to trade them in-season once we know a bit more about how the roster is working. The guys I'd look to trade during the summer are Davis, Aminu, and Crabbe/Turner.

Those four are good choices.

Anyone else notice that it looks like Sylvester runs like he has a metal rod in his back? So stiff. It'd be like if Meyers Leonard shrunk about 18 inches, grew out thick luscious black hair and ran like someone who has to go to the bathroom really bad.

I fuckin' LOVE this cat!!

Jusuf with more gravity than a black hole. She literally cannot re-position her neck to look toward the camera. It's physically impossible.

[BBert]

A quicker Dame. Oh, my.

 

[riverman]

Wow....a beast that loves to play...this guy is going to be a game changer!

 

[tlongII]

Health is always the key, but man we could do some SERIOUS DAMAGE this year!

 

[Mr. Robot]

I can see him becoming Darko Milicic vol.2

 

[Driew]

God damn I need to temper my expectations. These Nurk workouts have got me thinking conference finals type of year...it's going to be a fucking tough year in the west.

The regular season will be tough. Once we get to the playoffs, hold onto your shorts.

I think Carl Weathers is really bad at making it look like Stallone is really beating him in a race.

Imagine how pathetically unexciting this upcoming season would be without Nurkic. All we'd have to look forward to is trying to scrap together a .500 record and a 1st round sweep by the Warriors.

We're an optimist lot. Well, some of us...

If no Nurk, we'd be all swept up in Biggiemania.

If Jusuf Nurkic didn't exist, we would have to invent him.
