🧵: Denver has the #1 post up offense both by volume & efficiency. So I logged all 800+ Nikola Jokic post up scoring possessions this year to see how he and Denver fared based on defensive approach. There are very clearly right and wrong answers to defending him.

There's a large difference in efficiency for Jokic post ups when you let him play 1v1 vs when you send help. It's been that way ~all season. Overall the difference has been 0.22 points per play. Vs some players & teams you'd rather play 1v1. Definitely not vs Jokic.
