He is 97 of 347 for his career. Thats 28% for his career. Not great, but better than last year. It is a little deceiving. When a player is not a three point option in an offense, he only shoots them when the offense breaks down, which tends to create a lower percentage. I am hopeful he can get it into the low 30's--maybe 33-34%. Hopeful. Work on that aspect of the game and getting shots in rhythm can make a difference.I will not get too excited about this.
Nurk's stats show he was a 24% 3pt shooter on 1.2 attempts per game. Waiting for him to drop a 3 every fourth game, eh. I just dont think he will make any dramatic improvement in that area to something like hitting a 3 every third game. 25% to 33% is a huge jump for someone like Nurk.
What I did notice that he started to have more pep in his step later in the season than the start. So maybe he's finally fully health after all his injuries, those take time. And less weight will only help keep stress of his legs.
