Nikola Jokic is still the number one topic in the NBA league.
He provides great games, but that is not always enough for Denver, especially when you take into account that they do not count on Michael Porter, Jamal Murray and P.J. Dozier.
Fox Sports journalist Nick Wright summed up his impressions in the podcast “First Things First”.
– What about the Joker? The team is not very good, he is very good. I said that he was the worst MVP since Dave Cowens in 1973, and I stand by that. But that was last year, this is something else – says Wright.
Coach Michael Malone also talks about him, who also has confidence in the Serbian center.
– Nikola is our best player. He is the best in the league. We are a much better team when he is on the floor and ready to play – Nuggets coach Michael Malone is clear.
What is noticeable is that Jokic is playing much better in defense this season, and that is something that the Nuggets fans were the first to notice.
– Nikola Jokic is on defense as a Volkswagen Golf in the Lamborghini League. It is effective. Effective. But it doesn’t catch the eye right away. He doesn’t show off. It’s not easy to copy on a poster, it just works – said Denver Post columnist Sean Killer.
And how would you rate Jokic’s game this season?
