Being the an elite playmaker he is makes this convo possible. There hasn't been a playmaking center this good at effective playmaking since Hakeem. Everyone will mention Divac but he wasn't as much a playmaker as he was an elite passer. Jokic is an elite playmaker and his elite offensive threat makes his playmaking so effective.I've been back and forth with this, deliberating if they can, and while he certainly limits their ceiling with his lack of defense (especially in a position of importance), he's quite literally an offensive system all by himself, to a degree that I wouldn't even be entertaining this argument if it was any other big man in the last 20+ years.
