He'll probably be the starting center again in game 7.

Yeah, Denver instead is the land of shooter... Both teams have the exact same 3P% (33,8%). However few of the Jokic's assist came of the post, so spreading the floor isn't so important to him.
I repeat for the last time: I'm not saying that KAT is a bad passer (or have bad court vision), I'm saying Jokic is better in this particular aspect of the game and his advance stats are awesome.
I didn't want to make a comparison between Jokic and KAT, but there is a reason because their advance stats are pretty similar and it isn't because "advanced stats can be flawed". Malone use Jokic's strengh very well and the advance stats show that...
Most minutes for Wolves (>20mpg):
Wiggins: 30.0% 3P
Rubio: 32.0% 3P
Lavine: 38.9% 3P
Dieng: 30.0% 3P
Shabazz: 28.9% 3P
Prince: 17.4% 3P
Martin: 36.9% 3P (less than 1/2 season when KAT played only 20mpg)
Overall: 4.6 / 13.7 33%
Without Martin: 3.6 / 11.1 32%
Lavine and 1/2 season Martin are the best shooters. The rest of the team is trash.
Most minutes for Nuggets (>20mpg):
Gallinari: 36.4% 3P
Harris: 35.4% 3P
Mudiay: 31.9% 3P
Barton: 34.5% 3P
Nelson: 29.9% 3P
Faried: 50.0% 3P
Augustin: 41.1% 3P
Arthur: 38.8% 3P
Overall: 8.8 / 25.0 35%
Except Nelson and Mudiay, others are really good shooters.
Overall Nuggets's best players shoot 3% higher on twice more 3 point attempts than Wolves best players.

I mean they only showed 4 or 5 plays where he passed the ball. But if you saw the skill and vision there on those 4 or 5 plays...like you or whichever Nuggets fan who posted those Jokic videos cherry picked 4 or 5 plays as well...extrapolate that you realize Towns was making those kinds of passes every game.
But regardless, I've only seen the odd game and highlights of Jokic and you haven't seen as much of Towns as I have. So we're both going to argue a different way for the same reason. I'm more concerned with if Towns is a good passer--which he is. Than I am if Towns is a better or worse passer than Jokic. Just as I'm sure you're mostly concerned with if Jokic is or if he is not a good passer, and it seems like he is a very good passer. From that point it's just debate and semantics really.

no, I get that. im more arguing the idea that KAT must be better at everything than all other rookies. towns is definitely the better player but definitely not the better passing big man.

Porzingis is better defender than Towns.
Jokic is better passer.
Okafor is better post scorer.
Something else? ^_^
