Nobody wants to hear this but Donovan will always be a flawed player as an undersized 2.
Depends. I feel like him and Murray are very similar players. If you switch him with Murray, Jokic hides his flaws, while you would say the same things about Murray in Cleveland.
"Just stick him next to Jokic" is becoming the new "Well, he can win a title with LeBron".
Not that Jokic has had nearly as good a career as LeBron, but he currently seems to be at least equally valid as the answer to the question, "Who can run the league best offense with this flawed all-star?"
Just as a response to Jokic's career so far, Jokic is less than a year older than LeBron was when they both won their first championship. Two MVP's , really should be three, a historic postseason dominance, near averaging triple doubles for a season before that.
Not saying he has as close a chance at the same longevity, or even that Nuggets repeating is as sure a bet as the Heatles, but if there's anyone in the league who can match that I'd bet on Jokic first, then Giannis, Luka if he can escape the Mavericks, or the potential dynasty leader in Sacramento in a few years.
