I don’t think there’s a very clear answer. They’re the consensus top 2 in the league, similar age, career achievements and late bloomers. Both relatively injury free so far though Jokic is more available, both seem intent on staying all or most of their careers with their draft team.
Personally, I think it’s harder to build a team around Giannis you’re going to need people to compliment his weaknesses in shooting, free throws and late-game situations. Jokic dosen’t need as specific tailoring of teammates to his skills so your team might be more consistent through roster transitions. I guess you could knock Joker down for his defense but finding a power forward like Gordon who can cover up a bit on defense is easier than finding multiple good shooters.
Secondly, Joker’s game atleast appears like it’ll age better because it’s more IQ and finesse than athleticism. That might change if Giannis develops his game with age like Lebron did but it’s a less certain bet than Jokic.
You’re right, he is a good iso player. But I think r/nba has a hard time acknowledging some of the limitations to his game like his dribbling and his speed, which is what I was trying to convey in my comment. I talk about that more with the other guy who responded.
I still don’t really understand where you’re coming from. He’s really an excellent dribbler. Basically never gets the ball stolen and he’s got a surprising bag of dribble moves. Dribbling isn’t about flash, it’s about putting the ball in the best position to help the player do what they want to do. Jokic accomplishes that better than almost anyone else in the league. And when opponents don’t respect his ball handling he can punish them.
He’s slow as fuck though I’ll give you that.
