It's recently come out that new Utah Jazz center Jusuf Nurkic is out of shape and can barely run, as confirmed by his Bosnian coach yesterday. It's not the end of the world for the Jazz if Nurkic's conditioning remains that way when the season starts, but it does raise one question: why didn't the Jazz just waive Collin Sexton?
No, this is not a shot at Sexton, an excellent basketball player who embraced life as a Jazzman, who everyone in Utah wishes well. However, when the trade was announced, everyone was baffled by what Utah got in the deal.
