The data does not lie, what is the gap between Shin Kyung and Jokic?

The Rockets were able to play second in the Western Conference last season, which is inseparable from the growth of center Shin Kyung. Although his scoring data has declined, his influence in the game has increased a lot; that is to say, after Shin Kyung's eyes have his teammates, the overall strength of the Rockets has become quite good.

In fact, Shin Kyung may be the true core of this Rockets. His low-post deterrence combined with excellent passing vision is indeed worthy of the title of "Little Jokic".

Especially after playing this summer's European Men's Basketball Cup, even the famous domestic basketball player, Mr. Su Qun, believes that "Little Jokic" is no longer suitable for describing Shin Kyung, and his ceiling cannot be seen. As Jokic's body slowly declines, it is only a matter of time before Shin Kyung catches up with him, which is Teacher Su's point of view.

The two are seven years apart. Does Shin Kyung really have a chance to surpass Jokic in the future? We compare it from the data, after all, this is an objective thing and will never lie.

Jokic averaged 29.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 10.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 57.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 41.7%; in the playoffs, he averaged 26.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 0.9 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 48.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38%. Although the data is not as impressive as the regular season, we all see the importance of Jokic to the Nuggets; it can be said that without him, it may be very difficult for this team to make the playoffs. Where is

Shen Jing? Last season, he averaged 19.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.1 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 49.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 23.3%. In the playoffs, he averaged 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 45% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%. It can be said that the first time he was able to perform like this in the playoffs in his career has indeed proved his cornerstone attributes, and his personal performance will not be subject to the opponent's defense. In comparison, there is a big difference between the two people who are seven years old. Shin Kyung's biggest weakness is his projection level, which is really not the same level as this version of Jokic; during the long regular season, Jokic's offense was even more indecisive and efficient, and Shin Kyung could not reach such a height; in addition, the production of organizational assists could not be compared with Jokic, and his deterrent power was far from being able to make his opponents double-team.

This means that if Shin Jing wants to benchmark against Jokic at his peak, his scoring ability must evolve to an unsolvable level, so that he can better drive his teammates' offense; therefore, Shin Jing's next efforts will have a direction, which is to improve his shooting ability and become a more comprehensive center.

So, is there a big gap between Shin Kyung and Jokic during the same period? It depends on how Jokic, who is in the fourth grade, plays?

It goes back to the 18-19 season. Jokic played 80 regular season games for the Nuggets, averaging 20.1 points, 10.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting percentage of 51.1%, and three-point shooting percentage of 30.7%. Jokic played 14 playoff games that season, averaging 25.1 points, 13 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting percentage of 50.6% and three-point shooting percentage of 39.3%.

You should know that this is also the first time Jokic has played in the playoffs in his career. His personal data has almost surged in total compared to his regular season performance. Jokic was obviously stronger during the same period, and his organizational ability and three-point shooting ability were far above the 23-year-old Shin Kyung. What is even more commendable is that Jokic played superstar data in his first playoff journey at that time, which was a height that Shin Kyung could not reach.

Through data comparison, the gap between Shin Kyung and Jokic is really not a small matter, and the projection ability is the biggest obstacle; if you want to catch up, you may need to be supported by the offensive deterrent power like Embiid, which is a little possible?
