I’m not sure how you spent your Monday night, but Jusuf Nurkic spent his pouring in 5 of 7 three-pointers against the Charlotte Hornets, setting a career-high for long-distance makes while pouring in 28 points to help secure victory for his struggling team. In the wake of that performance, with a little help from Blazers broadcasters, Nurkic is being heralded as a legitimate shooter and his threat as part of the ever-evolving offensive platform of the franchise.
