Would the Nuggets still be a playoff team without Jokic? (alien.top)

This is not meant to be an anti nuggets post. More about how ridiculous Jokic is. If Jokic was out for the year due to injury how many wins would the Nuggets get? I feel like Jokic is worth like an additional 20 wins.

Let's take the other 3 teams of Vegas top 4 title contenders

Boston: Take out Tatum and they are for sure making the playoffs

Milwaukee: Now that they have Dame I think they would for sure make the playoffs if Giannis was out for the year.

Phoenix: Whether it's KD or Booker, if only one of them is out they should definitely still make the playoffs.

Good thing for Denver is Jokic is built like a horse

If you replace Jokic with an average center with Nuggets are not a play-off team.

If youyou replace Giannis with an average forward, last year Bucks are still a play-off team, same for this year.

Phoenix is tricky to answer when referring to last year but there are playoffs team with or without Booker, KD.

Guess I should have clarified. I am referring to this upcoming year. I agree with you though
