Nikola Jokic

Nikola Jokic remains the undisputed king of fantasy basketball, delivering an MVP-level performance every night. With 26.4 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 9 assists per game last season, Jokic is the definition of a triple-double machine. His efficiency (58.3% FG, 81.7% FT) and ability to contribute in virtually every category, including 1.4 steals, solidifies him as a fantasy powerhouse. What separates Jokic from other elite players is not just his scoring, but his unique passing ability and court vision, allowing him to rack up assists at a rate unheard of for a center. He even adds value with low turnovers for someone who handles the ball as much as he does. Jokic is as reliable as they come-whether you're in a points league or roto format, he's the player who can carry your fantasy squad week in and week out. If you want consistency, versatility, and dominance, Jokic should be the unquestionable No. 1 pick in every draft format.
