Nurk is still a low mileage 7 ft big with his best years in front of him. He's lovin' Chauncey ball and it shows. He's not going to be the only defender on the court this season.
A career year for Nurk would mean him having the best defensive year he's had and I just don't see that happening. Should be in better shape to start the year but I think he's lost enough of a step defensively and his issues in the post make him a guy who can be played off the floor vs smaller lineups in the playoffs Hope he proves me wrong.
