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 would have loved to see sheed/big ben and pre injury kg/perk take this task too.

    AD is a good defender for this current league but Jokic is kind of old school in terms of using his body. Weve seen hes been bodied pretty well by Dwight before jokic’s MVP seasons, i just want to see what it would be like to have bruisers try to take him
