Jokic's Shooting Slide Threatens Nuggets Offense | Denver Nuggets News
Description
Nikola Jokic’s summer stint with Serbia raised red flags: just 5-of-18 from three-point range. That follows a troubling trend — his deep-ball accuracy plummeted after the All-Star break last season, dropping to a dismal 19% in the playoffs. With Denver’s offense built around his spacing and pick-and-roll magic, a continued shooting slump could force major adjustments. If defenses can pack the paint without fear of his pull-up threes, it’ll squeeze room for Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon, and open doors for more aggressive double-teams on Jamal Murray. The Nuggets’ shot at a fifth straight 50-win season hinges on whether Jokic can rediscover his stroke — and whether his wrist holds up.
