Austin Rivers believes that in terms of scoring, Karl Anthony Towns is better than Jokic
The Denver Nuggets have started the season off a bit slower than they would have liked and with the current obstacle of the Jamal Murray injury, things may take a little longer than expected to get into full gear.
None of the current setbacks the Nuggets have in their way, however, have put a hamper on the performance of the current reigning MVP Nikola Jokic. The MVP is currently averaging 29.8 points,12.3 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.0 blocks per game on impressive shooting splits of 56/59/81. This hasn't stopped critics from voicing their opinions on not only the Nuggets but of their star player Nikola Jokic. On a recent episode of the Offguard Podcast, former 1st round pick Austin Rivers, claimed that Karl-Anthony Towns is a better scorer and is more skilled than Jokic. The statement is even more ridiculous because Rivers has played with Jokic and seen firsthand just how good he is.
"Karl is a better scorer and almost every attribute of the game over Nikola," said Rivers."He's an average shooter, he's not a good three-point shooter. I didn't say he's a better player, I already said Nikola is the best player in the NBA, but if we are talking about offensive skillset, Karl can score more.
