it's interesting that after over 60 games, EPM basically paints them both as having impact that's mostly tied to offense. we've been hearing all season how SGA has huge edge on Jokic defensively while Jokic stans have claimed Jokic is way ahead offensively

at least according to EPM, both are wrong as the two are close both offensively and defensively

How are you getting that off the data posted lol? Based on that, Jokic is the best offensive player in the league and a solid but not great defender. And SGA is the (I assume) second best offensive player and an elite defender. SGA is killing him in defensive EPM, Jokic makes up some of the gap with offense. Which seems accurate enough imo.
