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?
True, that’s why the bucks have Brook for direct rim protection. But now that the bucks have Dame on offense that frees Giannis up for more effort on defense so he can do what he did best when he won DPOY - target specific players and hunt them down.
