And by shutting him down I don't mean holding him to 28/13/6/.595. Bush will get that. ;)

Nobody can shut Jokic down but I think strong and quick bigs like Hakeem and maybe Giannis could make it more difficult for him.

In theory, Bam fits the mold of someone who could do it too.

Much easier said than done.

Even if Jokic gets lucky on the court, Bynum trashes him in bowling.

He's still young enough for an NBA comeback. He might be linking up with AD and LeBron in the front court next year

Gun to head, I'd like to match Hakeem or D-Rob against him. I guess. Maybe.

Even then, they are giving up 30-50 pounds or so.

He's just such a difficult matchup.

I would try and prioritize stopping or crowding him outside vs the inside. Someone who could basically go 1v1 to lessen his passing dimension would be more of a focus than worrying about him getting 25-30.
