Not to say that he isn’t a great playmaker, but just because he averages 10 assists and makes some unnecessarily fancy passes from time to time does not at all justify him as having one of the highest offensive peaks ever.
10apg is good but nothing crazy especially when he’s the primary playmaker of the team to begin with. There are plenty of PGs in the league who can do that.
He also averaged 4 turnovers per game last season which is pretty sloppy but everyone seems to ignore this.
Correct! His unheard of efficiency, impact metrics, and the eye test that aligns with the insane stats are what justify it.
10apg is great actually and not many PG’s actually get close to that number. When you say “plenty” that number last year was 3: Harden, Young, and Jokic.
Also, what makes Jokic different is that he’s also a big man and what he is doing is something we haven’t seen before from a center.
You know who else averaged 4 turnovers per game and with a lot less assists? Giannis.
Haliburton also averaged over 10 assists.
