Michael Malone says Nikola Jokic is the best center in the NBA
Before the suspension ‘Joker’ was averaging 20.2 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.8 assist per game
Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone talks about Nikola Jokic after his first practice with the team in Orlando.
“He looks great, but I think people are missing a major point here. Nikola had dedicated the last three months prior to the season being suspended to losing weight and getting into the best shape of his life," Malone said. "I expect him to play the way how he was playing prior to the league being suspended and come out and play at a very high level. He’s the best center in the NBA, why wouldn’t he?"
Before the suspension ‘Joker’ was averaging 20.2 points, 10.2 rebounds and 6.8 assist per game, shooting 53% from the field, 31% from beyond the arc and 81% from the foul line.
