Profile
Standing 6 feet 11 inches (2.11 m) and weighing 284 pounds (129 kg), JokiÄ plays exclusively at theĀ centerĀ position.
Through the 2020ā21 season, JokiÄ’s career averages are 18.5 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game.
JokiÄ is considered by many to be the greatest passing big man in NBA history.
As a playmaker, JokiÄ uses his size and vision to set up his teammates for scores, often through various no looks and special deliveries.
His techniques, particularly his one-handed passes, have drawn comparisons to those of aĀ water poloĀ player.
Playing at a slow and deliberate pace, JokiÄ often pauses upon receiving the ball to survey the floor for defensive mistakes and potential openings.
In addition to his playmaking ability, JokiÄ is also a versatile scorer, capable of effectively finishing in the paint and hitting jump shots from midrange and the three-point arc.
During his MVP season, JokiÄ shot .566 from the field and .388 from 3-point range.
His signature move, the “Sombor Shuffle” (coined by Nuggets play-by-play announcerĀ Chris MarloweĀ after JokiÄ’s hometown ofĀ Sombor), involves jumping off his right foot before launching a high-arching fadeaway.
JokiÄ developed the move during his recovery from an ankle injury in 2017.
The unorthodox move is difficult to contest and has drawn comparisons toĀ Dirk Nowitzki’s one-legged fadeaway.
