Nikola Jokic
For me it is Arvydis Sabonis.
Thats not bad, the old version anyway.
It was a shame Nba fans didn't get to see Sabonis in his prime. He was actually very athletic and would have been the best big in the nba mid 80s to mid 90s.
He is one of my favorites. My pick is an absolute compliment.
For me it is Arvydis Sabonis.
Hmm. Yes but better and more athletic though we saw him late in his career stateside.For me it is Arvydis Sabonis.
I like that comparison. The older, slower, NBA Sabonis with the bum knees. (Which isn't a knock...that Sabonis was amazing)
Sabonis was a better passer, though.
Marc Gasol
Sabonis made Luka look small.
Hummel was right with his Brad Miller comparison.
Luka is great but not even remotely close to McHale or the Joker, not by a long shot.
Oh, we're including inactive players. Yeah, Brad Miller is pretty close.

Luka is WAY better than Miller ever was for Purdue.Sabonis made Luka look small.

Ugh Sabonis wasn't a clue?
There is a young Sabonis now
Luka is WAY better than Miller ever was for Purdue.
The best comp I've heard is Enis Kanter.
Their around the rim games are similar but Kanter is more explosive.
Kanter doesn't have an outside game though so the comp is still not great.
Lukas shooting is going to get him a chance.
The more I think about it the more I think the comp is Dirk Nowitsky.
They don't really have similar moves but both are great scorerers on the block and excellent at shooting 3s.
Dirk was a horrible defender and Luka would be similar in the nba.
