Breakdown Series | Episode 14: The Jokic Blueprint
Welcome back to the Breakdown Series, where we dissect the X’s and O’s shaping basketball’s evolution.
In this episode, we look at how Indiana State and Robbie Avila mirrored elements of Nikola Jokić and the Denver Nuggets’ offense. By putting their bigs in pass-friendly spots and surrounding them with constant cutting, Josh Schertz created one of the most dynamic systems in college basketball.
In this video, we:
● Compare Jokić’s playmaking with Avila’s unique skill set
● Explore how Indiana State’s cutting and spacing mimic Denver’s flow
● Show how pass-friendly positioning unlocks big-man creativity
● Explain why this style can elevate any team, even without a Jokić
Whether you’re a coach, player, or hoops fan curious about offensive innovation, this breakdown shows how to maximize your bigs as playmakers.
