    Nurkic's stats have been good because the Stotts offense uses him so much, but his many wimpy failed layups have been offset stats. Whiteside or Kanter would have made those.

    Before the injury our coaches had made him unlearn his weakass Nugget habits, but he returned with them intact.

    Stott's offense doesn't use him enough.

    Nurk’s stats have been good because he’s good, but also because the Lakers have been using AD on doubling Dame. Nurk is often open for a quick hitting pass to the middle. It will be interesting to see if his numbers take a hit since the Lakers can now play straight up on our guards.

    Without Dame, Blazers will be going to Nurkic alot for offense. Expect a big night
