For what it's worth, if anything is to be taken as far as rotations or minutes from the order in which they brought guys out to take questions, Eric Gordon was next after Nurkic, and I heard Josh Okoge announced as next up, although the YouTube stream I was watching went off at that point.
Given the amount of talk about Grayson Allen (especially) and also Nassir Little from Ishbarteljones and Vogel, it seems like those guys are destined to at least be given a chance at getting time. Poor Keon Johnson got mentioned maybe once, by accident.
He’s also last on the interview schedule…even after the 2-way guys. I think he’s being cut
Jones was kind of indirectly taking shots at DA, not on purpose, by talking up all the things Nurk does well. Plays big, release valve, finishing at the rim, etc.
Lol what? He's levels worse than Ayton at finishing at the rim. Just ask Blazers fans.

Jeremy gonna spend all season nitpicking Nurkic lol. Fair play tbh.
Ishbia seems to have taken his dose of yayo today.
Yowzers.... I might need a xanax watching him I love his excitement... but seems to have had a little too much caffeine this morning
He told Tom & Tom he doesn't even drink coffee in the morning, just water.
lol saw that and was thinking I’m glad they didn’t drug test owners… jk

He's our guy now, and I've already posted about how he's probably a better actual basketball player than a lot of people realize. I hope he's a great contributor for the team this year.
That being said ... his face really does rate about a 97.2 on the punchability scale.

One of the main things I took away from media day was the sense that these guys all know what's at stake and what they're there for. We went from a younger, goofier group that was fun to a more serious group that feels a bit more hardened. Really impressed with Beal and how he conducts himself, seems like after all the losing in Washington, he's ready to play for something.

Nurkic says he's 280lbs now and prefers to play at that weight.
That being said ... his face really does rate about a 97.2 on the punchability scale.
Any chance he could play in an opaque mask so we don’t have to look at it?
They are not legal, I believe. Who was it who tried to play with a black mask?
He should wear a hockey mask and change his number to 13. See if it intimidates opponents.
And change his last name to Voorhees. Are we playing anybody a week from Friday?

Wow, Nurk sounds like a great guy. After Tom Chambers kept talking about his huge dad, I did some research and found this. His dad is 7 feet tall and 400 pounds, btw. Nurk says his now 15 year old younger brother is coming to the NBA too. He was wearing size 16 shoes at 13.

I dug into his younger brother a bit he doesn't look like much of an NBA prospect. He recently averaged 6mpg for the BiH U16 team and he's currently 16 years old. Maybe he still makes it to the league, stranger things have happened.

Just remember that Michael Jordan wasn't great in HS either.

Heck stat didn’t start until he was 14… just never know. Usually just being freakishly tall as a teenager helps.
I love his excitement... but seems to have had a little too much caffeine this morning
