Niko: “I learned a lot from [Jokic], offensively and defensively. He’s the best player in the world…if you’re in the right spot, he’ll find you. It’s really easy to play with him.”

The Heat are one of the slowest teams in the league, ranking 27th in pace. Watching a 280-pound player push the tempo for both the Nuggets (8th in pace) and the Serbian national team shows how much faster and more dynamic the offense runs.
Also look at the actions Serbia runs for Niko—and, even more importantly, the quality of their shot selection. Niko is getting a lot of his shots of seals and fast breaks.
Spo is still the best coach, and he is friends with the Serbian team head coach.
But I bet Spo is watching Serbia and continuing to learn to bring a more egalitarian style of offense to the Heat.
I wanna know what he learned from *Jokic* defensively
He’s gonna ball out in the play in
I love this for Niko. Got the full Summer of training with Jokic. For free.
