Which player is actually ‘best’ at guarding Nikola Jokic

For whatever reason before the WCF in 2023, there was a conception that Anthony Davis does very well against Nikola Jokic however that narrative has completely flipped.

I’ve seen Nurkic, Ayton, Draymond and Gobert mentioned before but the facts (stats) seem untrue.

While there might not be a Jokic stopper, is there an actual player that defends Jokic well to the point of keeping him to or below his averages?

    I’m looking forward to watching that matchup too. Of course Jokic can go from scorer time facilitator at the drop of a hat so there’s no real chance to shut him down but Wemby presents him a unique challenge for sure
