3 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic is coming off a horrible 2020 campaign where he only played 37 games. He saw a major regression in numbers, but things are looking up for the big man. Enes Kanter took away quite a bit of his value, but Nurkic should be able to see around 30 minutes with Kanter leaving. Cody Zeller and Larry Nance Jr. are on the roster, but shouldn't get in the way of Nurkic. The biggest problem has been his health. Although, it sounds like new head coach Chauncey Billups wants to get Nurkic more involved on both sides of the court. It certainly sounds like he could be in for a career year, assuming Nurkic can stay on the court.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
