Perfect center for this group. Can initiate high post offence and that helps without a true point guard.
Also can get dirty with rebounds and hustle plays. And the big thing is can punish mismatches down low every time; which will happen a lot with book Beal and durant
It’s been one game… check back mid-season.
Someone tell Phoenix fans they DONT have to shit on ayton. Guys. He’s gone. Enjoy your team and let him go. Half the comment here are “ayton wouldn’t have done x” like bruh let it go and enjoy your win.
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.
Healthy Nurkic is a good player. He just has been hurt like crazy.
Ayton is more *talented*. Hes more *physically gifted*. And thats why its frusterating that hes not goddamned *better* than Nurkic or, in many stretches, the various backup bigs we played during his tenure.
Do you know how many times I said “Ayton would be unstoppable if he he had the fearless mentality of JaVale McGee? Or Richaun Holmes? Or Jock Londale?” and the list goes on and on and on.
And yes, backup bigs play fewer minutes and thats why they often play so hard. But still, man.
Nurkic should just address himself as Bosnian Beast. Fucking Ayton calling himself Dominayton
I told y’all he would be a great fit. Better than Ayton. Brings the Euro toughness and can flop
He is everything you want out of a big. I always respected his game.
Never liked him because whenever he played my teams he played with a chip on his shoulder but always respected him.
