Game analysis, highlights and everything else that is happening in the NBA.
Tough question.... initial reaction is Butler/Booker.
But logically one of the two should be a big man, and he or the other should have a high number of touches per game, since Jokic would fill both those roles.
Maybe LeBron and Bam? Hot take would be Lebron and AD due to the latter's availability, but that's surely too much.
Steph and Embiid
woh!!
mo wagner
Mo Bamba and Franz? interesting
Booker & Kyrie
You don't think their skillsets overlap too much?
Booker’s learning to share the ball. With Kyrie with him, he wouldn’t hesitate.
Giannis and KD
Devin booker and KD
Lebron and AD
Giannis and dame
Tatum and Brown
Naz and Reid
NAZ REID
He’s the best player in the league, so I guess everyone?
I think it's pretty much any two players whose added NBA rankings are above 6. Jokic makes scrubs look like competent NBA players and competent players into stars. Will Barton went from averaging 15 PGG on Denver to washing out of the league in one year. Aaron Gordon went from 50% effective FG% in Orlando to 58% with Denver. This man makes everyone on the team so much better it almost doesn't matter who the other players are.
this is literally crazy
I think you are way overrating Jokic. He is good but come on man.
I'd legit rather have Jokic on my team than a Giannis/Embiid duo
Jamal Murray and Joel Embiid
From pure analytics Jokic averages what? Then compare that to 2 other "great" players (according to your criteria). I would take the 2 other great players hands down. Not even a debate because the 2 together probably average double what 1 Jokic does. Cant compare.
If Jokic still have Murray then no one? They dismantled Lebron and AD who are probably the toughest duo to deal with considering their two way play and size.
Giannis and Steph
No one is reading this post correctly. You have a list of NBA players in front of you and you can pick Jokic or you can pick any two random players. What is the best combo of players that STILL wouldn’t be worth taking over Jokic.
Most would take Luka and Giannis together over just Jokic but what amazing duo would still not be worth it.
As a Nuggets fan and Jokic worshiper, literally any combo could be made and I’d still take Jokic over it. 🤷♂️
