Nikola Jokic 2018-19 Player Outlook
6 years agoDenver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic will be a fun fantasy player to own in 2018-19. After averaging a double-double last season with 18.5 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, the versatile Serbian was signed to a massive five-year, 148 million dollar max deal in the summer, which shows that the Nuggets see him as the face of the franchise -- and looking at Jokic's development, you can see why. He posted career bests in nearly all of the major statistical categories last season, averaging nearly 33 minutes per game. The Joker had 10 triple-doubles over the course of the season, with all of them coming after the turn of the year, so he had a very strong finish to the season, while nearly helping Denver end their playoffs drought. He'll be expected to continue straight where he left off and that's a mouth-watering prospect considering that he averaged 21.7 points, 11 rebounds and 6.5 assists after the All-Star break.
