Among all starting centers with 20+ games this season, Jusuf Nurkic ranks 31st out of 33 in FG% at 45.2%.
Nurk's drop off has been almost as sudden as Chris Paul's. He went from being a solid contributor to completely dragging down the team in a short period of time.

I think he's been dragging the team down ever since the end of February last season. And this year I think he's become aware of the writing on the wall and has been somewhere else mentally most games.

Some are saying now that he shouldn't have dropped weight. Idk but being lighter and more mobile should have improved him, but I always thought he sucked.

So looks like the Wizards will be missing 3 rotation players tomorrow as well:

Malcolm Brogdon
Marvin Bagley Jr
Saddiq Bey

Bey has been out all year, Brogdon's been out about a week and Bagley has been out since before Christmas.

Long segment on 98.7 right now on the Suns. Talking about how you probably want to stay away from Butler and you definetly don't want to commit to him because he gets mad everywhere he plays.

Then that segwayed into how the Suns currently play with no passion or joy... and that neither did the Nets with Durant... and that his last couple seasons in Golden State were cloudy, which then went into them talking about how Durant is seperate from the team, he never plays within an offense, he plays his style, apart from whatever the team is doing and that is just how he is, at the same time Gambo is walking on egg shells to avoid hurting Durant's ego, qualifying everything and mentioning how individually great he is. They also went into how Booker is a reflection on the guys around him, he was fiery with Chris Paul, now he is laid back with Durant.

Yippie.

Durant is a cancer.

I don't know how bad we'd have to do between now and the trade deadline for us to move him, but it would probably be in the best interest of the team if it happened.

The demise of Chris Paul has been greatly exaggerated. His health has been an issue, but at no point has he not been, at minimum, a good player.

Nurk went from being below average to being horrendous.

His effectiveness dropped off. He was missing shots that used to be money and he couldn't stay in front of anybody. Even when he made shots they were not when we needed him. He just seemed slow.
