Fantasy Basketball 2017/18: 10 Players to draft in Round 4

#9 Jusuf Nurkic/C/Portland Trail Blazers:

Jusuf Nurkic

After being sent to Portland in the middle of February, Nurkic exploded by averaging 15.2 PPG and 10.4 RPG in 29.2 minutes of action and if it wasn't for a non-displaced right leg fibular fracture, the hype around him entering this fantasy season would likely be even higher.

While he was and will continue to be, the third offensive option behind Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum, Nurkic is nonetheless an impact offensive player. His free throw shooting may be an issue, as he shot just 66.0% after the trade. That said, considering everything else he does on the floor, problems at the charity stripe shouldn't prevent Nurkic from having top-10 center potential.

The end of last season was the beginning of things to come more so than a flash in the pan. Take advantage and invest.
