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?

    In a 7 game series, nobody is stopping him. You have to take away the Nuggets shooters to stop our offense.

    In one game, I’ve seen Gobert, Ayton and Draymond be very effective against him.
