    20 & 17 against a 30 million dollar a year Ayton, not to shabby.

    I think Nurk might be getting some better coaching and workouts than he ever has before. Hope he keeps listening to them and doing what he learns in practice. I'm just extrapolating this from how he plays. no other evidence......

    coach Rogers seems really close with Nurk...I think Nurk loves Chauncey's approach to the game.

    I still don't think he fits our defensive minded style. And it still bothers me that the Blazers use 10 seconds of the play clock to post him up then he takes one dribble and kicks out without being doubled. He is also too soft around the rim. Adams showed him how to finish last night and was a bruiser like usual. Nurk has the size to do that, but not the mentality.
