Yeah I agree with this. I'm taking AD & Joker over Embiid.

The only thing on a basketball court that Jokic does better than AD is pass and he's a slightly more consistent shooter from the perimeter....but that's literally it.

Defense definitely doesn't matter to anyone in here.

I'm big on defense. It's why I cant consider KAT (aka private school Demarcus Cousins) as highly as most.
But if Player A is a better ball handler, passer, scorer, shooter, rebounder than Player B, but all Player B does better is defend, does that not make Player A better?

Jokic is a dope player. Very interesting game. Was he dominant / similar style of play before the NBA? Feels like hes just got fundamentals on lock

Harden is my dude, but I don't think I can legitimately say that I would rather have him than Luka in a playoff game/series at this point. Too many instances of him not asserting himself. Luka not shying away from the moment. Attacks the paint relentlessly and doesn't settle for the 3 as much.

Averaging like .3 more rebounds makes you a better rebounder but being far better on defense is irrelevant? And Jokic isn't a better scorer or ball handler

It goes back to my previous point of the players being SO different in style that it is kinda weird to say which one is BETTER.
Both are excellent in the roles they are asked to do.
Both are Elite talents.

Why do you consider Jokic a better scorer than AD?

Where did I say its irrelevant though. Once again playing with Lebron James changes everything. Switch Jokic to the Lakers and i'm telling you ya'll would be favored by alot since day 1.
Jokic has gotten farther with less talent. He makes all his teammates better. That counts.

Lakers would be a worse team with jokic.

AD scores a lot by just being active around the rim and moving without the ball.
Jokic has a post game, midrange, 3pt, etc. He can score in a variety of ways with the ball in his hand.

Agreed. The Nuggets would be worse with AD than Jokic too, IMO.

If they switched teams you'd say AD was better. It's about rooting against the Lakers. Which is cool

I saw AD score every way you just listed last game, in addition to being able to switch on to Jamal Murray in the pick and roll.
On top of being a threat above the rim.

not necessarily true That they would be favored more with Joker. AD was widely considered a top5-7 player when he was in NOLA. People were saying he’s the best player Bron ever played with.
Idk if Joker had/have the same respect and recognition before the season.
national consensus AD > Jokic for sure

Yup fit for both of them is great where they are.

Jokic scores less points. That's what makes him a better scorer
- 12,837

How you gonna say Jokic has less talent?? I think you mean less god given athleticism
talent =/= athleticism
- 35,360
- 26,989
I mainly root against Lebron.
Idk if AD would sniff a WCF with this team. Like I said he had good talent in New Orleans, yet he barely cracked 40 wins.
