I haven't looked into advanced stats, but I've noticed that Nurkic is only averaging 0.6bpg this season, the same as CJ did in Portland this year.

This is well down on previous years. Not sure of the reasoning (perhaps statistical anomaly) given he's been moving as fluently as I can remember this season.

that is a little surprising, especially considering he has the highest defensive rebounding rate of his career....meaning he's around the basket more and that's where blocks occur

might just be an anomaly; but it could be an artifact of the defensive schemes of Billups and what's he's asked Nurk to focus on
