  1. As someone who usually only follows the lottery picks that last paragraph in the summary is really interesting, that he talks about Jokić as a potential steal and worthy of a first round pick and that no team seemed to agree with him on that and took a chance with him in the first round. The strengths and weaknesses are pretty fair and maybe teams had no idea how to evaluate a center whose notable trait was his vision/passing. And obviously nobody could have anticipated how well he’d develop offensively.

    Honestly, good scouting report. Many of the negatives were things that he could (and did) work on—like shooting and bulking his frame. Others are things that are still realities for Jokic. But KOC clearly outlined his gifts as a passer, rebounder, and intelligent player.

    Obviously no one could have projected his meteoric rise but this nailed the core attributes pretty damn well.

    Just more Jokic analysis that is…actually pretty accurate.

    Turns out he didn’t actually need to speed up his release. He just confuses defenses so much that they give him all the time he needs to shoot.

    Also, the Sombor Shuffle.

    Very solid scouting report tho.
