Chauncey Billups on Jusuf Nurkic: “There’s not a lot of centers in the league who are as talented and as skilled as him”

Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups believes there aren’t many centers in the NBA who possess the talent and skill of Jusuf Nurkic.

“There’s not a lot of centers in the league who are as talented and as skilled as him,” Billups said. “You have a big guy who can man your paint defensively, rebounds, can be good with the pass … and can make the 3. You can’t name me that many guys who can do that. So (making 3s) does make us a little more dangerously offensively.”
