Watching the Suns-Nuggets game.
- I don't know what the Suns fan feel about Len.
- it has that all-star game feel that everyone going out to get their stats haha
- so easy to score in today's game when you are a shooter with handle that can attack a close out

To be fair Jokic is an elite 1v1 defender when he isn't fouling out.

I don't know what is up with his shooting in March, but he is averaging over 13 rebounds a game, and averaged over 9 in January. Some fans are fairly high on him and some fans not so high.

Shouldn't he play that usual finish around the rim and garbage points on offense just like most rim protectors like DeAndre Jordan and Chandler? His FG% should be much better with limited offensive responsibilities.

Yes, but with Bledsoe he had 49% shooting in November I believe so he probably just needs to be playing with a better PG for one. He's been playing with Ronnie Price. He can be a good finisher and is good running the floor.

He has games where he is money from mid range though so it might just be a confidence thing. I hope he works it out, but at least he's got the rebounding for now.

Nuggets has 108 DRTG (worst) when he's off the floor

50TS% for the season. Below 60FG% on 0-3ft.

Well, suns doesn't really have much options. I mean, ronnie price took 7 3s tonight. Booker shot 28 shots the other day. In a more established team, I think his efficiency on offense will be much better with just finishing around the rim.

They've given him more competition but it's not really close IMO. KAT is putting up 22/10 in March in much better efficiency than the other 3.

He faked out everyone on the floor at once. Nice.

KAT 22PPG / 62 FG% / 3.4APG / 10.2 RPG / 1.6BLK. ALso has the second best FT%.

They wont touch him. Booker has an argument to usurp Kirstaps as maybe runner up

[Nuggets_Talk]

Are we really not putting Jokic who along with KAT are the only ones putting up All-Star PER numbers in the first team?

tbh, who does he overtake on the first team? id love for him to make the first team but jokic probably has a good shot at the 2nd team. which for a second rounder, isnt bad.
