he’s been a per minute monster for years, and his ability to be productive with increased minutes last year further makes me believe he’s the real deal. Only 24 and getting better too. He’s better than Zubac imo and should have been starting.
Wall / Jackson Powell / Kennard George / Mann? Kawhi / Covington Zubac / Morris I think Nico is gonna get squeezed-- might be available for the full MLE if we so wish. I don't really wanna pay a 34 yr old Nico 10 mil/yr, but it's an option. (word is he went to LA for less money than he was offered here last year).
I would take him. He's shooting 40% on threes his last 2 seasons. And obviously can defend as we saw him on Ingram in the play-in.
Potentially yes. He’s not the playmaker Nurk is but imo he’s a much better defender and rebounder, and the offense is pretty good. It won’t happen here because of Nurk’s history here, but I might. You can compare their advanced stats for the past two seasons here, he had a 22 PER this year. https://stathead.com/basketball/pcm...layer_id2=nurkiju01&p2yrfrom=2021&p2yrto=2022
The efficiency and production is quite attractive. If you haven't clicked the link to look over those numbers and comparison, it's well worth it.
I read Sept he'll be ready when we first got him. I think he'll be our new version of Chris Kaman on the bench..give you a solid 15 minutes a game when you need him.
