Tbh there's probably 10 players on the Jazz roster who are worse than defenders than Nurk lol.

Say what you want about Nurkic but he has managed to last ten years in the NBA

As well a bunch of other big dudes who currently aren't playing in the NBA probably

I wouldn’t say that. He’s 3rd in the league in defensive rebounding % and 4th in overall rebounding %. Almost 10 rpg in 24 minutes. There are advantages to being so big you can’t be moved. Though admittedly it does hinder overall defensive effectiveness.

That's kind of my point. There are other dudes who are so big they can't be moved who aren't in the NBA because of other glaring weaknesses.
