The Denver Nuggets are playing winning basketball on a consistent basis this season, proving that their offseason additions were well worth the hype. And the thing that fans are noticing is that Nikola Jokic has been having his way in situations that analytics has been trying to kill off: post-ups.
Jokic has been totally dominant in post-up situations so far this year. He's made a stunning 34 of his 45 shot attempts when posting up this season. Nuggets fans and even the casual NBA fan know that Jokic is an efficiency monster, but that 75.6% shooting mark is just unheard of.
