Scouting Nur
Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw found Nur to be one of the top performers at the Overtime Elite Pro Day a couple weeks ago, writing this about him:
Ahmed Nur is an intriguing prospect. He stands out immediately with legit size with athletic fluidity and a smooth shooting stroke when given time. His flashes are very intriguing. He was able to get on the rim a couple times in the small-sided games and he knocked down a few pull-up jump shots. Finding consistency in performance will be next with him, getting stronger and playing off a steady base. There is an intriguing long-term possibility here.
