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?
Thunder fans- have you tried Dort on Jokic? I know it’s a different playstyle but I feel like those Dort/Smart type guys give Giannis a ton of trouble, I wonder if it’d help at all on Jokic
