Jusuf Nurkic- Overall 76 (2K16-74)

The Bosnian beast Jusuf Nurkic is another intriguing international big man for the Denver Nuggets. Nurkic is a beast in every sense of the word, using his great strength to be a monster on the boards. He is still a very young player and his 2K17 rating should reflect his natural progression as a result.

Nurkic should see a boost to both his offensive and defensive rebounding stats to around the 86-87 mark for each. He will also likely see an increase in his inside scoring and will still have a serviceable mid range shot around 77-78. His defensive stats should stay roughly the same, with blocking and low post defense being his strong suits on defense. The offensive and rebounding  attribute increases for Nurkic should increase his overall by a few points for 2K17.

Nurkic will be a monster rebounder and shot blocker off the bench in 2K17, protecting the paint against those who favor the turbo to the paint tactic. His serviceable mid range shot could also make him sneakily effective on offense as well in 2K17.
