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?
Jokic had one of his 2 worst series last year against the Lakers. He always gets his, but the Lakers limited him about as much as the Wolves did. No one’s ever gonna hold him to 21 PPG on mediocre efficiency or something.
