As great as Jokic is playing, I think the inevitable comparisons will be with the young, pre-NBA Arvydas Sabonis. On offense, they are almost identical. As great a passer as Jokic is, so was Sabonis. But Sabonis was a far better all around defender.
Right now, I think he'd be on the Mt. Rushmore of big guy passers with Sabonis, Wilt and Walton.
If Jokic can keep this up for a couple more years, he might play himself into pantheon of the greatest centers of all time.
