Uhm you forgot the most important stats lol
Jokic:
26.8mins 16.3ppg, 8.9rpg, 4.4apg, 0.8bpg, 0.8spg, 2.1tos
59% FG, 36.4% 3pt, 82% FT
Cousins:
30.5mins 18.1ppg, 11rpg, 1.6apg, 1.5spg, 1.2bpg, 2.7tos
44.8% FG, 0% 3pt, 70.2% FT
Jokic isn't the rebounder or defender Cousins is yet, but all of those things will improve with strength. At the same age, he's already a more talented scorer. He can score from all levels of the floor, including the 3pt line. Cousins was mainly just a post scorer. On top of this, Jokic is
A LOT more efficient than 21 yearold Cousins.. FG% tells the story. Jokic is already an amazing passer. At 21yearsold, he's already better than Cousins currently is now.
per36 numbers:
Jokic:
21.9ppg, 11.9rpg,
5.8apg, 1bpg, 1spg
Cousins: 21.4ppg,
13rpg, 1.9apg,
1.4bpg, 1.6spg
I didn't buy the Jokic hype at first, but after watching him play, he's been amazing. He's such a polarizing player because he can do almost everything. In my eyes, I think he's better than Porzingis, and already on KAT's level. There's an argument that he's more talented than KAT, but that's not an argument I'd make.
