Is Jokic’s playmaking overrated? (alien.top)

Not to say that he isn’t a great playmaker, but just because he averages 10 assists and makes some unnecessarily fancy passes from time to time does not at all justify him as having one of the highest offensive peaks ever.

10apg is good but nothing crazy especially when he’s the primary playmaker of the team to begin with. There are plenty of PGs in the league who can do that.

He also averaged 4 turnovers per game last season which is pretty sloppy but everyone seems to ignore this.

No there aren't. Especially not while averaging a hyper-efficient 25 ppg.

Also, he's a fucking center, lol.

Yeah, only one or two players a year manage 10 assists per game.

I think he’s mainly talking about assist in reference to usage.. not scoring, not anything out of the context of his post. Harden has averaged 10 assist per game the last 5 years for example.

even if he was right, he's comparing them to a Center...that helps Jokic.
