Ben Taylor is the author of THINKING BASKETBALL, and the creator of the Thinking Basketball YouTube page and podcast. Last week, he made a fantastic deep-dive video on Nikola Jokic and what makes him such an impactful player. The video mixes highlights, graphic visuals, and analysis to explore what makes Jokic such an effective passer, his best attributes as a scorer, and where his 2018-19 season ranks among his peers. It’s a must-see video for all Denver Nuggets fans.
In this episode, I am joined by Ben Taylor to discuss his thoughts on the Jokic’s upside, where he ranks historically as a passer, what kinds of players fit best around him and the odds that Jamal Murray turns into a star.
