He can be the greatest passing big we've seen.
His skillset is rare for a big.
He can build up his body and he can improve in D.
You can work on these things, but his arsenal offensively is pure talent.
He has the potential to be Divac / Sabonis? I haven't watched him enough...
He definitely reminds me of Sabonis with some of these passes. Sabas had goat hands IMO, he could catch and palm basketball so effortlessly, and his one hand passes were insane. That Jokic pass to Farried is pure Sabonis.
This guy came out of nowhere, I am a big Euro basketball fan (mostly Euroleague, but I follow some other leagues a bit as well), but I had no idea who Jokic was up until the last season. He looks like what I imagine Saric to be, when Saric was still 17 years old.
