Nikola Jokić is having a monster start to 2020, averaging 24.9 points, 10.9 rebounds and 7.1 assists on 54.1 percent shooting since Jan. 2. Tim Connelly, the Nuggets’ President of Basketball Operations, has been impressed with his All-Star center’s recent surge and had some high praise for the 24-year-old. “I think right now he’s the best player in the NBA,” Connelly told Altitude Sports Radio on Friday. “I don’t think anyone else impacts winning the way he does right now.”
