Sometimes a yes or no question isn’t as easy as it sounds on the surface. Context matters.
In the case of Jusuf Nurkic as a starting center for a team with playoff aspirations, what does your gut tell you? Can a team win a title with him anchoring the middle?
My answer leans towards no, but that is predicated mostly on the roster construct around him. The lack of size, rim protection, and athleticism are still issues that the Suns will face time and time again.
The Phoenix Suns have addressed several needs this offseason by adding depth, point guards, youth, and even some athleticism.
