"Holmgren is a very young player who's been performing well this season. His physique doesn't really give him an advantage; he's too light. I don't mean any disrespect, but I just feel like he's more like Kevin Durant than a center."

In the entire game, Nurkic started and played 32 minutes, making 7 out of 16 field goals, 0 for 2 from three-point range, scoring 14 points, grabbing 31 rebounds, providing 4 assists, and blocking 1 shot.

Indeed, he's only 88kg at such a height, while Nurkic, who's 3cm shorter, weighs 130kg. How can he handle that?
