2265 recorded minutes
League percentiles: 412 players with at least 20 games, 300 minutes and 100 field-goal attempts in 2025-26. Higher means more of the named statistic. Per-36 rates describe production in the recorded role; they do not project starter minutes.

How to read this profile
Percentiles compare this season’s qualified NBA players across all positions. Rebounding reflects opportunity as well as skill; assists depend on touches and teammates; shot volume does not measure gravity. True shooting uses aggregate points and attempts, with a 0.44 free-throw multiplier. Per-36 rates use recorded minutes, which may be rounded in historical NBA game logs.
NBA source record ↗Scoring volume
28.6 PTS / 36 places Nikola Jokić at the 97th percentile among all qualified players, across positions. The scoring rate deserves a closer look alongside shot difficulty and who creates the looks.
Inspect the record ↓How much should you trust the jumper?
38.0% from three on 295 attempts. Separate catch-and-shoot looks from pull-ups, and open attempts from contested ones, before projecting the percentage.
Inspect the record ↓Decisions under pressure
2.87 assists per turnover is a starting point. Rewatch possessions against traps and late-clock pressure; this ratio alone cannot tell you how difficult the passing job was.

Where the shots actually came from.
42 attempts
2 of the last 2 recorded regular-season appearances have event logs that reconcile with the player’s box-score shooting totals. These zones describe that subset.
Rim: under 4 feet. Short twos: 4 to under 14 feet. Long twos: 14 feet and farther. NBA event labels determine three-pointers. 58.8% of made field goals carried an assist credit in these logs.
