They’re still doubling him almost every possession in these clips not like it’s great iso defense.
Now post all the times Jokic cooked him
I’m not sure there were all that many times that Jokic cooked Wemby. Mostly it was Bassey and Collins that were matched up with him. Wemby also had like 3 steals off of Joker’s passes and the Nuggets sometimes struggled to get the ball inside with Wemby there. The kid is going to be a superstar in a few years with a few complimentary pieces surrounding him (like anyone who can run the point).
Jokic literally had one of the best offensive games this season against him. I guess you could also make Jordan Poole look like Steph if you only show the makes.
lol I had no idea what happened in this game and this video made it looked like he was locked down, only to find out he had 39.
They accidentally forgot to include all the times Jokic schooled him, and accidentally cut off one of the highlights where Wemby stopped him, right before Jokic immediately got the ball back and scored on him.
Joker only attempted six shots on Vic, and he made 3. He had more turnovers against Victor than made field goals, IIRC.
I was shocked watching the game how well he held up against Joker in the limited amount of posessions he got. The Wemby at the 5 stretches looked a lot more coherent on offense too. I’m sure Joker would have killed him if they played that matchup all game (And did get him a few times not shown in the clips). But that was super promising for the future.
Yeah, one clip was even cut where Jokic catches the rebound and immediately scores ahaah
Its such bullshit cutting lol , Jokic easy scored on Wemby several times. And ye he got back rebound and scored on him that possession too
Clips just edited to not tell whole story and Jokic has 39 brother , lots of them on Wemby
It’s almost as if the video is highlighting Victor’s defensive plays against Jokic, not just showing every matchup they had.
The video is about the times he got good defense against Jokic. Is not a whole video about the game.
Is a 19 years old skinny guy going against the two times MVP, of course Jokic is gonna get his points. Don’t gotta get so defensive about it.
Victor did FAR better than Chet did, to say the least. Jokic wasnt particularly BOTHERED by him, Victor had good possessions, but Jokic absolutely didnt even feel Chet. Not even a little.
Joker is obviously going to cook lesser guys, but damn… 2 years from now, Wemby might be at a place where he’s pushing Joker to a Game 6 or 7.
Not sure who else is capable of such. Kinda think it’s no one. This dude is special.
I’m sorry, you don’t think any team in the league is capable of pushing the Nuggets to 6 or 7? How does that make sense?
Jokic feasted when up against Collins or worse Bassey.
So this is basically propaganda 🤔👆
Also known as an opinion.
well it is just showing he did some good defense, not perfect, but the dude is 19, show promise, sure he was ultimately cooked as the others, but had some good defense
Even in the future where Wemby is a more polished product, I don’t think he’s going to get the primary assignment on Jokic very often. Relatively skinny shot blockers are much more effective against Jokic when they can play help and avoid getting bodied by Jokic. Wemby will probably primarily guard Gordon when he’s in.
They’ll switch up.
We doing this now? Seriously?
He had five possessions!
Jesus Christ, we talking about basketball, Lebron, KD, Tatum, Doncic? Everyone thrown to the wolves. Let’s stop this crap. Play a full game, a full season and build some stats against elite played and let’s compare.
Tired of making players goats before they walk. I grew up outside Boston and Lebron James is the greatest player to ever walk the earth. Jordan is the greatest scorer I’ve ever seen.
Wemby might get here but let’s wait for fucks sake!
Who pissed in your cereal? Did some go in your eyes making you unable to read too?
You got to post direct matchup stats otherwise all people are going to see is Jokic scoring 39pts (Wemby doesn’t even play the 5)
He makes it look so easy…damn
Thank you for making a defense compilation OP!!! We need more content like this
Let him play center and give him a real point guard Pop
it bugs me that the clips aren’t in order.
It just goes to show how Jokic does things on the court without second thinking. His muscle memory just failed against a freak like Wemby.
Too bad the spurs are 2 years away from the playoffs.
its time to wear lakers uniform - LA fans
This was so good I didn’t even realize it was on a loop and I was watching it a second time.
I said this to my friend at the game, Jokic would have no trouble backing down Wemby in the post because dude’s a stick but Wemby’s length would present an issue because he is literally Slenderman
Damn this is pretty dominant tbh lol
