Nikola Vuu010deviu0107 knows there isn’t anything new to say about Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokiu0107.
“He’s pretty OK,” the Chicago Bulls center joked after practice Tuesday at the Advocate Center. “He’s a stat padder, though, so I don’t know.”
All that’s needed to understand Jokiu0107’s credentials is a simple glance at the stat sheet. He averages a triple-double — 24.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 10 assists — for the team with the Western Conference’s best record (46-19).
As the Bulls prepare to face the Nuggets on Wednesday in Denver, the game plan will be centered around the impossible task of slowing the two-time MVP.
