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?
He won’t, but he might still get the block. I really don’t think the strength advantage is as sufficient as you all think, Wemby has faced big slow strong guys who wanted to post him up all game before and they mostly ended up doing terribly. It’s Jokic’s floater / touch / craftiness at that height that will give Wemby problems.
