    Nurk (6 games as a Blazer):
    30 MPG <<<<<
    .576 FG%
    .704 FT% <<<<<<
    8.2 RPG
    4.0 APG
    1.7 SPG
    1.5 BPG
    14.5 PPG
    20.9 PER

    3.2 TOPG (Only black mark on an incredible stat sheet, and I'm not sure it's that bad.)

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    2015-16 Blazers (Season Average Highs):
    FG%: Davis (.611), Plumlee (.516).
    RPG: Plumlee (7.7)
    APG: Dame (6.8), CJ (4.3), Plums (2.8)
    SPG: CJ (1.2)
    BPG: Plums (1.0)
    PPG: Dame (25.1), CJ (20.8), Crabbe (10.3)
    PER: Lillard (22.2), Davis (18.7)

    So, If he continues like this, then compared to last year's team, he'd be..
    2nd in FG%
    1st in RPG
    3rd in APG
    1st in SPG
    1st in BPG
    3rd in PPG
    2nd in PER

    That's a Load!

    Note: Nurk is averaging 30 MPG while Plums only averaged 25.4, and this contributes to Nurk's higher per game stats than Plums. HOWEVER, Plums only played 25.4 because of his poor FT% and foul trouble. Nurk is also not in the greatest shape yet, so his MPG could easily rise, making him even more effective on a per game basis.

    I want a home NURK jersey. How come the stooges in the Blazers merchandize department have not introduced it?

    It's like 60 something here and there is ice under the floor, players are slipping everywhere during shootaround!

    Wanna bet?

    Tatum, Jackson, Ball, Fultz, and Smith are locks for the top 9.

    The other 4: Isaac, Markannen, Fox, and Monk shouldn't fall either.

    Markannen won't slip past Minnesota. They need shooting. They need a PF. He'd be a perfect fit in their lineup.

    So the other 3 are a PG, SG, and SF.

    The Knicks won't take anyone outside of those top 9 because they don't need a PF with Porzingas (so no Williams, Rabb, Collins Hartenstein, etc.) They need a PG to replace Rose, or even a starting SG like Monk. They could go for Isaac if they're trading Melo.

    The Kings would have the 7th and 8th picks, and the last thing they need is more big men. They need a PG and a SF. No way they'd let Fox or Isaac slip past them. A young core of Fox/Hield/Isaac/Labissiere/WCS would be solid going forward.

    Good question, since the NHL team in Minnesota plays at the Xcel Center.

    Sure I will take that bet. At least one of your top 9 of Tatum, Jackson, Ball, Fultz, Smith, Isaac, Markannen, Fox, and Monk will go 10th or later. I don't want to take your money (I have been in College, it can be rough) though so lets bet something like winner gets to choose losers avatar for the whole season. Only stipulation is it can't be nudity or too highly inappropriate for the forum. We will let Sly be the judge.
