Spoiler : you're not winning **** with a center who can't protect the rim
Opponents FG% in the restricted area the last two years:
Jokic
57.7, 62.9
KAT - 62.8, 64.1
One guy had defensive mastermind Thibs, the other had a system put in place that wasn't even designed for him to play center last year. There's a decent chance Joker goes back to being the upper-echelon defender he was in year 1 now that they've gone back. KAT will probably make a jump as well, but he has a long, long way to go to being even an average defender.
TPA Defensive points saved:
Jokic - 88 in 2070 minutes
KAT - 18 in 3030 minutes
