Denver last playoffs and this regular season so far have shown another level of defense to in the past playing at a borderline top 5 level in both instances
However many still view Jokic’s rim protection as a major issue and simply think Denver have done a good job of hiding this
Personally I’d probably say he’s obviously not All Defense level or anything but at this point is probably someone between a neutral and moderate positive overall
Don’t think it matters that much. However good he is defensively, the nuggets are way better with him on the court than off and every other team would be too
