Jokic is regularly targeted in the playoffs at the rim. Teams find ways to go at him intentionally. He has really good hands which salvages some defensive stats (spg) but he just doesn't deter anyone AT the rim. He is a piss poor rim protector and he has slow feet out in space. It's just physical limitations though, he's a smart defender and if he wasn't built like a baked potato he'd probably be a really good defender which would be unfair considering how godly his offense is.

I guess steals = good defense too?

Does this mean he's a good defender?

Maxey averages as many blocks per game as Jokic. I guess this makes Maxey DPOY?

so a small sample size isnt enough and we should look at the last 3 years to determine our takes on players?
