It's easy to "learn to play defense" when you play with Mike Conley, Tony Allen, Marc Gasol, and a very good defensive system.
Look at those screens Vonleh is setting!! The one at 11:40 is vicious! The highlights against the Spurs start at 6:44. Look how many times TT gets USED. I also LOVE the last highlight where Shrek's Donkey gets dunked on!
I wouldn't due that Boogie hasn't shown he can make a difference to make a team a winner and Nurk has as result that he made us a playoff team last year.
In all seriousness, I didn't know that he was playing above 300 lbs last year. Preferably, I think I'd like to see him down to 260-265. But....I'm not his Nutritionist, or his coaches. So what the hell do I know.
No way was he 310 pounds. Quick probably was given info on how many pounds Nurkic put on and added it to his listed weight of 280 (which was his pre draft weight.) Same with his current weight. No way is he 275 pounds. He's probably around 250. If you look at him last summer he was in similar shape as he is now and there were articles that he was around 250.
Here, this is Nurkic last training camp when he was in shape. Not much different than now. If anything he's even skinnier now.
Yeah, all very good points. I didn't think he looked 300; not even close, especially with the current pictures we've seen of him in training thus far. At the heaviest, I figured last season he was around 280.
http://www.denverpost.com/2016/06/2...urkic-seeing-quick-results-of-offseason-work/ heres an article from last summer he lost 35 lbs just like now, and went from 280 to 265 (if their info are right), but during the season he got out of the shape and I wonder how much of that lost weight he gained back... so if Jason Quick is right, he went from 265 to 309 and he gained 44 lbs... so now he has 10 lbs more than last summer
At 24 years old and 245 lbs I was thin. Never quite got a six pack but close. Nurk is almost a foot taller. His weight is hard to judge by sight.
