NBA Today | “History of calling Jokic with 3rd MVP win” – Perks believes Nuggets will win champs NBA

  1. -poor defense (don't argue; this is 100% true. Defensive ranking is 39, and that includes his kicked ball plays)
    -no contested shots (only takes open shots)
    -ranking highest in assisted field goals and ranking low in unassisted field goals (doesn't create his own shot)
    -floor-bound & slow
    -can't compete guarding or being guarded by elite players
    -lowest usage of any superstar on any team (lower usage = higher PER and fg%)

    People, metrics are a statistically based opinion. They are formulas that include select percentages and data to draw conclusions. Jokic is great and he leads his team, but without looking at the big picture, you don't see that other MVP contenders are putting in more effort in both ends, impacting more possessions, taking and making more difficult shots and contributing far more defensively.
