Just playing devil's advocate but Jovic's second year stats aren't much better than those of Jarred Sullinger.
Convince me that he's worth giving up the #1 overall pick when this year's draft could land us the next CP3, Westbrook, Rose, or Irving.
Jokic is averaging more than twice as many assists as Sully did in his second season and shooting .591 from the floor compared to Sully's .427. He's also a year younger than Sully was.
So there are statistical differences, to say nothing for the eye test.
Also remember Sullinger was supposed to be a Top 5 pick.
Here's DraftExpress's mock draft history for Sullinger: you can see he had been considered Top 5 for 2 straight years. Then people got concerned about his back and conditioning.
I think 2nd year Sullinger was looking like the Top 5 pick he was supposed to be.
So it's not just, oh look Jokic's points/rebounds are comparable to that bum Sullinger. That was "should have been a top 5 pick" Sullinger we saw for a lot of his 1st and 2nd year.
But it's also unfair to compare a full season of Sully to 36 games for Jokic. With the way he's been playing lately, 19/9/5 since winning the starting spot in mid-December when Denver stopped trying to play both Jokic and Nuric together, 23/11/5 so far through January, I like to think there's going to more separation between their basic stats as Jokic plays another 40 games.
And of course as Big333223 mentioned, his shooting and passing are pretty amazing. Top 10 in the league in TS%, #2 in the league for players with a Usage of 20% or greater. #4 in apg at the Center spot, in only 25mpg so far (again, I expect this to grow as the season goes on).
