    So.


    The big question is....

    does he come off the bench or does Whiteside get benched?

    I think he should come off the bench for a while, ease into it. Towards Play-off time maybe we see both Nurk and Hassan out there together. Wow that’s an incredible defensive and offensive tandem at the 4/5.

    I originally was going to like your post until you started talking about them on the floor together. It would be a disaster of epic proportions.

    Why do you think that? They could have a really good 2 man pick and roll with both of their passing abilities. Think we could give a lot of teams trouble with those 2.

    Nurk sets the pick, they switch on the roll to cover nurk; lob city to Hassan

    Start Nurk and Whiteside as twin towers against Rockets small ball. Stay for the media meltdown.

    And they'd give up a wide open 3 every single time on the other end.

    Plus Stotts rarely takes advantage of size mismatches on offense so he wouldn't all of a sudden change his whole scheme. Teams would just start daring Nurk to shoot jumpers which we don't know if that would be good or bad.

    You know he will be kind of iffy for at least 5 games or so, right?

    Don't get your hopes too high. It will be a while before we see proper Nurk.

    just for reference: when Paul George came back for 6 games at the end of his injury season, he averaged 9 points, 4 rebounds, & 1 assist in 15 minutes while shooting under 37% on FG's; he also had twice as many turnovers as assists

    The thing is I don't expect, him back at full strength at least for a while probably some time into next year. Im still pumped for Nurks return though. Will basically be the most exciting thing that happens in Blazer basketball this year.

    I'd say the most exciting thing was that super-nova stretch of games for Dame. That Nurkic was coming back sometime was expected. What Dame did was beyond anything that could been anticipated

    Nurk coming back will be more exciting for me.

    Absolutely.
    Without Nurk, nothing this season has really mattered.

    That and the last time we saw him on a basketball court... wasn't a great image. It'll just be amazing to see him back.
    I mean Dame going off was exciting in it's own way but not extremely exciting.
