As we detailed earlier this week, Jusuf Nurkic is awesome. Not only is he good at basketball, he’s got swag out the wazoo, too — unlike that statement.
Unfortunately, Nurkic is expected to miss the start of the season with a knee injury that has put a speed bump in the way of the Bosnian big man’s development. Still, unless Nurkic pulls a Gallinari and just doesn’t come back for a year and a half, he should get plenty of the time to show Nuggets fans what he’s got up his sleeves.
Nurkic has the ability to be the centerpiece of a great defense, an idea that seems foreign in Denver, and he needs to start proving it in 2015-16.
