Nikola Jokic is quietly putting together a very solid rookie campaign, in less than twenty minutes per game off the bench for the Denver Nuggets. His minutes are trending upwards and has received more than twenty minutes nine times in December.
Although taking less than one attempt per game, Jokic has shown an ability to hit the three ball, shooting 45% from downtown through December that also included a 22 Point, 7 Rebound and 5 Assist performance against the San Antonio Spurs.
Jokic currently leads his draft class with his 55.4% shooting percentage from the field. Jokic continues to come off the bench behind Joffrey Lauvergne but on several occasions has managed to receive more minutes than Lauvergne.
The return from injury of Jusuf Nurkic will limit Jokic’s role even further as the season progresses.
