Nikola Jokic spoke positively of Chet Holmgren after their first meeting, but suggested the rookie big man put on more weight.
“He’s a really talented guy, but this is his first year. He’s still learning everything: the game, how quick it is, where is (he at) an advantage, where is (he at) a disadvantage,” Jokic said. “I think he needs experience. I think he needs to be a little bit fatter, to be honest. But yes, he has a talent that is unique.”
Jokic couldn’t help but put on weight when he entered the league whereas it might be a struggle for Holmgren.
“I didn’t have an option,” Jokic said.
