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?

    I was listening to Zach Lowe and JJ talk yesterday on the pod cast and they mentioned how well lebron guarded jokic in the WCF. If he was younger and not injuried, I think he would just based on size, athleticism and IQ
