Damn. This video has a lot of midrange jumpers. If you count free throws, which are a form of midrange jumper in my opinion, the number goes up even higher. 15 points worth of points scored in between the paint and the three-point arc, and then a really lame floater/layup thing that ruins the flow of the whole video.
If Nikola Jokic wants to capitalize on the advanced-stats-based hype that surrounded him last year, he’d better start having games like this a lot more often. He’s been trending upward lately, which is a good start, but the weight of unreasonable expectations is still present. He’s still definitely a good, solid player, but I think Nuggets fans wanted something more this season. Like dunks. Would it kill him to dunk it more? He only dunked it 11 times last year, and only 3 so far this year. That’s insanely low for a 6’10” dude who is still young.
Hmmm… here’s an idea. I’ve been thinking about ways to reduce my end-of-season workload. Maybe a Jokic dunkilation instead of a DeAndre Jordan dunkilation?
