Kick ball merchant Nikola Jokic is allowing 70 percent at the rim. Worst amongst Centers. Man ain't defending shyt

I rarely see undersized centers be good rim protectors unless they are supreme athletes. Not sure what people were expecting.
He's under 7ft and can barely jump over a sheet of paper.

Yes, he is.
Okay let me put it like this so you don't get caught up on the wording.
I rarely see unathletic centers under 7ft be good rim protectors. Does that work better?
At one point he had KCP and Gary Harris before the injuries who a beast defensively and he still struggled with rim protector.
None of this isn't new or surprising.
KCP is a good defender though. But anyway, all I’ve seen online this year are Nuggets fans complaining that their perimeter defenders are awful. That said, Jokic has never been a stalwart rim protector and merely passable at best. I haven’t watched the Nuggets enough this year to diagnose the issue, but I’m going to guess part of it is perimeter defence and part of it is Jokic.
I saw him run away from the ball in crunch time to a play in Miami Heat team. He's not in those talks
ARE YOU IMPLYING
HE CAN GUARD THE PERIMETER?
WHERE ELSE IS HE
SUPPOSED TO GUARD?

I think this is just our age difference. You gen z fans are used to a bunch of 6'10 6'11 centers starting for every team now and think that is the traditional size.
In my day people that size were power forwards. and most bigs were 7ft +
That’s not what I said. What I said is that can at times be average on defense when he’s not asked to guard the rim.
