Ellen Nurmi brings two-way guard savvy and floor-spacing potential for Portland
A Finnish guard for Portland, Ellen Nurmi has been a steady, team-first piece whose value shows up in efficiency, decision-making, and movement off the ball. In 2012-13, she made 12 threes, scored in double figures twice, averaged 6.9 points per game, and was praised for a strong assist-to-turnover profile and heavy minutes for a non-starter. The fit: a smart, versatile guard who can space the floor and keep an offense humming, especially if you want low-drama, high-IQ backcourt play.
