Denver Nuggets: Close-up on Denver’s big three

Nikola Jokic:

What Jokic does well

A stud center with a unique makeup, Jokic is Denver’s franchise. He is a first-class facilitator from the post, with a silky-smooth scoring game to boot.

First and foremost, Jokic is a slick passer. He led centers with 6.1 assists per game last season (ESPN). Watch the YouTube videos – Jokic isn’t simply a “good passer for his size.” Nikola is one of the NBA’s best passers, period.

In addition to his superb dime-dropping, Jokic scores from everywhere (21.7 points per game post-All Star break last year).
