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?
Even if Jokic can bully his way directly under the hoop, it’s possible Wemby can just easily block his shot due to his massive length advantage. It will be really interesting to see. You can’t really predict the matchup until it happens.
Yeah Vic has done that to a lot of other big centers (obviously none with the skills of Jokic, because no such center exists). I actually think he might bother Jokic watching the game yesterday, AD was getting bullied but still easily in position to block if he had a foot more standing reach like Victor does.
