They won 46 games his 2nd year, and they didn't make the playoffs. That's Jokic year 3.
They won 55 games and lost game 7 in the second round in year 3, where he average 21ppg in the playoffs.
Year 4 they won 46 games in a shortened season and lost in the conference finals where he averaged 27ppg.
Then he was hurt for 2 years while they were swept one year and gentleman swept the other before coming back last year and winning the title.

Yeah, he has been that good for while. Guys that are clutch are born that way. And i love the fact that Trey isnt' afraid of the moment, but he's just not the creator that Murray, or BI is. It is very clear to see that Trey wants the ball in big moments. That's something in a player that's always there, it isn't developed.
Here we are 5 years into BI and Zion and we've done nothing, which is why one of them has to go, and it should be BI. Zion isn't at Jokic's level, and BI isn't at Murray's level, hence why we've accomplished nothing.

Agree with all this. Agree Trey isn’t thst creator and is also isn’t afraid of the moment either. But I think we need to give Trey that opportunity to develop some of those skills. Zion isn’t at Jokics level but there is world where he is elite enough as a scorer and passer with the right guys around him you can build a title team. I frankly think BI needs to go- that doesn’t mean hes a bad player- could see him on another team flourish but Zion is better thsn him and they dont fit.

Would have preferred BI have the ball to take a contested mid range than whatever CJ did personally.

I dont think you necessarily have to be a creator to be clutch. Like Klay is pretty clutch and he was never a big creator. I could see Trey being that kind of clutch
