Nikola Jokic and the art of defensive angles | DNVR Nuggets The List

Nikola Jokic's defensive impact is all about finding ways to take away the easiest shots and lure offensive players into shots that are 5-10% more difficult. He might not block a lot of shots but turning a 3-footer into a 5-footer can be extremely valuable. To do so, it's all about the angles. I look at that skill and a few other quick details from the Denver Nuggets' blowout win over the Bulls.
Defensive angles: 0:02
Christian Braun's quick hands: 2:15
Julian Strawther's length in rotation: 2:42
MPJ jump passes, continued: 3:09
Jokic running into the catch: 3:39
Peyton Watson's chemistry with Jokic: 4:13

Love the analysis but it also creates short shots which leads to short rebounds and with Jokic having position, it increases the chances of a defensive rebound, thereby ending the position.
