Who’s the best big man in the NBA right now?

Going into this season, the Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo might have been the no-brainer answer. The 76ers’ Joel Embiid ended up with the MVP, though, and the Lakers’ Anthony Davis has talent coming out of his ear holes.

But the fourth option in this week’s “Polling Place” — your home for Sun-Times sports polls on Twitter — was the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic, and he won the vote by a landslide.

“Jokic is a game-changing offensive catalyst for the Western Conference champs and — yes, it’s true — a plus defender,” @JasonLangendorf commented.
