Much has been made of Nikola Jokic’s supporting cast over the years, or lack thereof. He has famously never had a teammate make the All-Star Game, but perhaps that’s not the be-all end-all, as the Nuggets are off to an incredible start to the season, thanks to their big 3 of Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon.
So far this season, when those three players share the floor, the Nuggets are outscoring teams by 21.2 points per 100 possessions, they’re in the 99th percentile for net rating, the 98th percentile for offensive rating, and the 93rd percentile for defensive rating per Cleaning the Glass.
