CHICAGO — Nikola Vučević knows there isn’t anything new to say about Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokić.
“He’s pretty OK,” the Chicago Bulls center joked after practice Tuesday at the Advocate Center. “He’s a stat padder, though, so I don’t know.”
All that’s needed to understand Jokić's credentials is a simple glance at the stat sheet. He averages a triple-double — 24.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 10 assists — for the team with the Western Conference’s best record (46-19).
