More specifically, I asked Jokic about his ridiculous playmaking rate that is more than double his career average (5.6 compared to 11.9), nearly double his mark from last season (seven) and just a shade above the Washington Wizards’ Russell Westbrook for the league lead (11.8). “Coach puts me in the right spots,” he said. “And I’m just trying to find open guys, man. I love when everybody is involved. I think that’s really hard to guard when everybody is involved and everybody expects the ball and everybody is a factor in the offense. That’s really hard to guard, in my opinion.”
