Far and away better at what? Basketball. I guess the 10 game sample size of bubble KP is better than everything I have ever seen from Nurkic but overall it is close. Both cannot defend in space but at least Nurkic can control the paint (rebound, defend the post). If KP remembers that he used to be a good rim protector he is back in the conversation. On offense KP has a big advantage because he can space the floor but Nurkic makes up for it with his superior screens and playmaking ability.
It´s not like Nurkic is some kind of scrub. In his last healthy season he averagef 16/10/3 in 27 minutes. 23.4 PER, +3.7 BPM (both better than KPs career highs). 2nd best +/- and on/off numbers behind Lillard.
