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 think Marc would get balled on too. Jokic would take him to the 3 point line and Marc isn’t going out to there.

    Jokic as unathletic as he is beats guys off the dribble every game off that pump fake. It’s really no way to stop him 1 on 1. He does everything at a high level.
