I think Jokic should be in the argument for greatest player in NBA history. Maybe not based on stats or rings but just watch him play and you know he is different. DQ is modeling his game after the right guy.

So far he has similar stats as the Joker in his first season - 12.6/6.6/3.2 vs 10/7/2.4 in few more minutes, so we can definitely dream about it.

Randolph is a bad comp. They look similar but Zbo averaged like 2 assists per game.

Anthony Mason isn't a great comp but he was more point forward.

Honestly, the smoothness of Queen's game is Jokic like.

Look at what Shamit just posted. DQ has by far the best on/off numbers on the team, and even his defensive on/off is 2nd best.

I'm pretty sure that no one who watched Summer League thought that Queen would already be this good of a defender.

I'm shocked noone has said this yet, but Boris Diaw.

Very nice. Diaw, mostly for game, Manning, mostly for body type.

Ricky Williams if you are talking about draft capital spent for him.

But I do think he is going to be a very good player.

I see an even more skilled Juwan Howard who played with Chris Webber or Randolph.

Laugh..

Anything outside of the top 15 in the NBA is almost guaranteed to be worthless in five years

And entire NFL draft is worth way more than we gave up for Queen, who is turning out to be a very good player

Old school: Moses Malone/Wes Unseld--though a better passer.

New school: Jokic/Sengun/Sabonis--but he has to board a little better.

Hes a better scorer but something about the way he moves reminds me of Vlade Divac

YES!

I started to post this the other day and forgot. He's got a much better handle than Divac but the passing is similar.

I've already staked my claim to say no human has ever been better on offense than Jokic.

I'm not sure it's even terribly close at this point.
