#8 Jusuf Nurkic (C) FG Efficiency: 41.7%

As a center, this is a bit low. Nurkic should most definitely aim to improve his efficiency in the 2016-17 season. He should be much closer to the 50% mark.

Centers are usually the team leaders in FG%, so seeing Nurkic this low on the list is a bit concerning. He is currently set up for a season of redemption, and seems to be riding the motivation of being an underdog.

Nurkic is a solid rim protector, but to take his game to the next level, he must begin to be more efficient. In no world should your rim protector be the 8th most efficient player on the team. Nurkic has to stay healthy and figure it out.

Fans are expecting improvement, and Nurkic seems poised to provide it.
