    I agree he needs better cardio shape. Its possible to keep the size and improve on the cardio endurance. Its a fine line. But, I think part of what makes him appealing is how much of paint he clogs up.

    The more I think about it, the more I want Olshey to get a 2nd round pick and grab Karnowski. A Nurk/Karnowski center rotation could be very punishing in opposing centers.

    Karnowski is a bruiser. He's super ground bound, but makes up for it with a good feel for the game. Great at passing out of a double team.

    Yep. He plays with a grittyness, but still maintains the finesse.

    He has a hook shot and makes free throws if I remember? I've seen about 4 Gonzaga games at work

    Buttery touch, throws around hit weight, a money baby hook and can dish no look passes when the double team comes. Down sides: Super slow of foot, can't jump over a phone book.

    Is the pick we get from Denver protected? Just imagine we win the 8th seed, Denver goes into the lottery and gets a very good draft pick for us ...That would be the triple play of Basket ball. The Boston Celtics have screwed the NJ Nets like that in a trade not long ago.

    keep in mind its the MEM pick and we will get it unless Mem basically loses almost all its remaining games as it is Top 5 protected

    Nurk was visibly tired, huffing and puffing, and his uniform was drenched. But he never took a single play off or loafed that I saw. He left it all on the court. Gotta love it.

    :cheers:

    Remember the last time you bought a center jersey? How did that turn out for the team?

    If they don't have ready made ones yet, you can get a custom one made. Not sure if they still do this, but in November of Batum's rookie year, I got my youngest daughter an extra-small black Batum jersey. They didn't have ready made Batum jerseys available yet, because no one expected him to be playing, let alone starting, as a rookie.

    There is (or at least was) a place on the 100 level where you order custom jerseys. You fill out a form and they make them to order. They will have it ready to pick up by the end of the 3rd quarter. Again, I'm not sure if they still offer this service but back then, the price was the same as a ready made jersey.

    Come on man, be a leader. Step your shit up man! Don't wait for everyone else to have a Nurk jersey. Be the first on your block to own one!
