Ok, so you'll probably hate this, Kamm, but my thinking is that Jokic is REALLY bad on defense.
He's GREAT on the glass. A man amongst boys. And, his defense seems to be better when he's playing hard. But, I think it's possible that it's bad enough to the point where it affects other players' numbers.
Totally agree that he's transcendent on offense, and in no way am I suggesting he's a dead end as the focal point of a team.
And, I can buy your conclusion on Grant.
But, I saw with my own eyes Grant have a better game guarding Kawhi (think it was game 5, but not 100% sure) than I've seen anyone have in years. I think the ability is in there, but I don't blame you for not wanting to bet the farm with so much on the line.
