Which one is harder to guard, Shen Jing or Jokic? Carter Jr.: It’s not difficult to face Shen Jing. Jokic is on another level.

Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. was a guest on Parsons and Lou Williams' podcast today and was asked about his feelings against Shen Jing.

When asked whether Shen Jing is as difficult to guard as Jokic, Carter Jr. said: "This guy does seem to be improving rapidly and is like a very difficult defensive target. But I wouldn't say this is a difficult matchup for me. I think you know, Jokic is obviously a player at another level, and the Nuggets' tactical system is also very different from the Rockets. Court. But like you said, he (Shen Jing) is indeed a talented offensive player. I am always ready to face challenges every night."

In yesterday's game, Carter Jr. scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 blocks on 11-of-31 shooting. Shen Jing scored 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 2 blocks.
