Nurk really from preseason has looked like the perfect fit in Phoenix…excellent roll man, smart passer in the roll, can facilitate a little at the key, sets screens, rebounds…he’s a solid overall post defender. Nurk has consistently graded out as a good post defender and decent overall rim defender.
He used to be better before injuries. He’s not the shot blocker he once was but he has solid positioning and he is so wide and strong, that he often can just by nature of his size be a force of nature around the rim and preventing easy baskets. He’s an above average center, which I knew before tonight, and happy he proved tonight. His role is pretty simple which I believe is a great situation for him and one he can thrive in.
Nurk did the dirty work tonight and that’s what will be expected of him this season. If he can remain healthy he should have a solid value season, someone who’s a real contributor to the Suns’ success.
