6. Jusuf Nurkic, Portland Trail Blazers

Stats: 14.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.4 blocks 

It’s really tough to predict what the market will be for Jusuf Nurkic this summer, as the NBA bigs of yesteryear become more endangered by the day. That’s not to say that Nurkic isn’t valuable in today’s game, it’s just that can change at any given moment.

Nurkic was effective with the Blazers this past season, but they’re pretty handcuffed salary wise and need to begin thinking about how they’re going to pay everyone.

There are plenty of questions that lie ahead of the Blazers this summer, and Nurkic is a big one.
