Nurk Stats......

[THE HCP]

This guy is a good follow on Twitter. Did a few tweets on us and Nurk specifically. Wondering how you guys felt about these numbers......

 

[Strenuus]

So you can figure out how to organize all these tweets, and you call us nerds?

Ha! Ya I got the “Copy link to tweet” button down.
Was wondering what you numbers guys thought of all this and might explain it a bit. Doesn’t look good.

Last year Nurk was spending a lot of time in the high post. This year it seems like we have gone away from it. I'd like to see him get more possessions there

 

[SlyPokerDog]

So @HCP, which Blazer coach spends the most time working with our bigs?

 

[handiman]

17-18-17-30-17th percentile. Nurk has to be the league leader in consistency, right?

Our big man coach. Oh wait...

BNM

"We are committed to player development."

Nurk is flat out garbage posting up most nights. Turnovers, missed shots, wasted possessions. He just has absolutely no feel for this part of the game. You're 23, Nurk--you've got lots of time to add that tool to your arsenal in the summer. You don't have to be elite at everything all at once.

For now just focus on pick and rolls.

I feel like I'm the only one noticing this.

It's what some of us said early. He is playing too fast, and teams adjusted to him. He is in desperate need of some time with a big man coach to teach him good footwork

 

[BrunoSOC]

Nurkic is playing like shit this year.

 

[Stevenson]

Who was that guy who set those monster picks last year and then was like a steamroller going to the basket?

Miss that guy.

 

[illmatic99]

Doesn't pass eye test.

Our lack of pace and passing (for assists), and inability to get open shots is why our offense is in the shit.

 

[Labinot41]

With crabbe as a 44% 3point shooter everything was easyier

Same guy. Teams adjusted

Our lack of finishing around the basket and Nurk's general sloppy play is sure a big part of it.

The longer big men with any shot whatsoever spend in Stotts system, the farther they get away from the hoop. Meyers, Nurk....Collins and Biggie next?

No, you're not the only one. I wince every time I see a post calling for Nurkic to post up more, same as I winced earlier in the year every time someone wanted Swanigan to post up more.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

Then I assume we need to adjust to their adjustments?

I fear you are correct sir.....

He more than we, but yes

 

[kjironman1]

Strange to say i know... But it seems Meyers does this a bit better.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

The Bosnian Bear!

I agree here. When we acquired him, people had not seen him play with our backcourt yet. Scouts seem to of figured out?

Shocking that scouts figured it out.

Nurk needs to work on his finishing, and learning when to pass out of the post. He forces a lot of his shots in the post.

Our offense sucks because Stotts is retarded.

ISO against set defenses every time down.

We have 2 of the best pull up shooters in the league and we can’t get some transition 3’s? (We also have big men that can shoot but I don’t ever see a trailer get an open 3 either)

We have athletic forwards and we can’t get any transition dunks or alley oops?

Why can other point guards get lobs and dunks with their big men all the time? We can’t.

For now...at 23 with his skills, I think Nurk is on his way to figuring it out as well...he's a young big who's ahead of the curve, but it's still a curve...I read an article awhile back that said the 2nd team was bringing it to the starting team at practice...Nurk fever sort of got carried away...it's a development season no matter what fans clamor for...he's developing..starting every game..I'd rather he has the clunkers early on and is beasting by springtime

Obviously because Stotts is retarded?????

Turnovers and timing...chemistry...we're not exactly lighting it up in the passing, ball movement game...Ed and Noah are better offensive rebounders than anyone on the team....Nurk tends to get tangled up with whoever is at the 4....that's chemistry..he's 23

 

[riverman]

We need a big man coach on the bench who played the position
