    Last time I brought this up a few guys posted paragraphs about how I was wrong. Nurk is mediocre at best.

    Until Sharpe's handle improves, he needs others to create for him. That's the biggest thing he needs to work on, imho

    Nembhard was a good pick. Just a solid PG. Nothing flashy just plays solid basketball

    He is, especially right now with Nurk out of shape. I think Turner would be better with this Blazer team.

    him, sharpe, and mathurin are a very solid canadian representation in this draft class.

    they're different players.

    think people forget how much we ask of nurk on defense. turner would struggle with some of the tasks nurk succeeds at.

    As usual, he doesn’t get enough credit for it, but perfect screen by Nurk to give Dame that open three. He is an excellent screener.

    Dame looks like Dame again. I swear some huge amount of the time the past ten years when Dame is less than Superb (other than teams doubling him etc in playoffs) its because he's playing hurt.

    turner is whiteside esque in that aspect and is continually frustrated when he doesn't get the kickback for the pick and pop.

    Turner makes 5mil a year more. He should be better. Question is, you wanna pay him the max he thinks he's worth next year?

    Beautiful transition basketball. Defense to offense.

    Nurk is starting to be a reliable 3pt shooter...

    Great trade for Halliburton too. Then picking Mathruin number 6 instead of Sharpe

    Chucking too many threes. Get high percentage shot.
