Lack of defense in the paint
Jokic is not a very valuable defensive player in large part because he struggles
as a rim protector. The Spurs beat the Nuggets that night because they exploite
d the softest spot in Denver's defense on repeat: Jokic's rim protection.
These two stats tell you everything you need to know about how well Jokic has pr
otected the hoop for the Nuggets in 2022-23.
Per NBA Advanced Stats, 33 players have defended 300 shots at the rim this seaso
n. Jokic has allowed the highest field goal percentage (69.0%) on those attempts
among this group.
Opponents have shot 54.2% on layups and dunks when Jokic is the contesting defen
der AND he heavily contests the shot, per Second Spectrum tracking. That ranks 6
4th among 65 players to heavily contest 250 layups and dunks this season. The on
ly player worse? His teammate and backup, Thomas Bryant.
缺乏油漆區防守能力
阿肥不是一個很棒的防守球員主因在於他不是一個好的護匡者。3/10對決馬刺的比賽中，馬
刺擊敗金塊便是依靠不斷的瞄準金塊防守上的軟肋：阿肥的護框能力
以下有兩項數據會告訴你22-23年阿肥的護框能力：
NBA進階數據-這賽季在籃下防守超過300次投籃的球員有33位，在這之中，阿肥的對手擁有
最高的投籃命中率(69%)
根據Second Spectrum的數據，在阿肥防守之下，對手的上籃和灌籃擁有54.2%的命中率，這
在防守超過250次的65位球員之中，排名第64名，那墊底的是誰呢？他的隊友Thomas Bryant
Big men win a disproportionate share of Defensive Player of the Year awards beca
use they have the most important assignment in the sport: defending the bucket.
Like almost every team in the NBA, Denver relies on its starting center to defen
d shots, force misses and grab rebounds. Since March 8, Denver is 4-5 and its de
fense ranks 20th in the NBA in large part because it ranks 26th in the league in
both points in the paint allowed and second-chance points allowed. As the playo
ffs approach, these red flags deep in the heart of Denver's defense provide fuel
for Denver's biggest skeptics.
長人如何在DPOY競爭中獲得青睞，是因為他們在這項運動中有一項最重要的工作-保護籃框
和聯盟的所有球隊一樣，金塊仰賴他們的長人護框和搶籃板。自3/8以來，金塊取得4勝5敗
的戰績，而他們的防守排名第20，很大程度是因為他們在對手禁區得分和二次進攻得分上皆

最大的質疑。
Jokic is one of five players who have contested more than 1,000 total shots this
season, and only Milwaukee's Brook Lopez (847) and Sacramento's Domantas Saboni
s (786) have defended more shots in the paint than Jokic has (686).
Despite the volume, Jokic's inability to create missed shots in the paint is a b
ig reason Denver's overall defensive numbers are below average this season.
The Nuggets are allowing opponents to convert 69.6% of their contested shots in
the restricted area this season
