Jusuf Nurkić DOMINATED Deandre Ayton Last Night

What better way to determine who fits better on the Suns between Jusuf Nurkiu0107 and Deandre Ayton than a head-to-head matchup?

Well, that’s exactly what we got to see last night in Nurkiu0107’s return to Portland in Phoenix’s third preseason game.

The two were essentially traded for each other in a three-team deal just over two weeks ago. Phoenix received Nurkiu0107, Nassir Little and Keon Johnson from the Blazers in this trade, while Portland received Ayton and rookie Toumani Camara in the deal.

The Suns ultimately ended up winning last night’s game 122-111 behind a stat-stuffing performance of Nurkiu0107, improving to 2-1 in the preseason.
