Coaching is important for bringing out the best in players. (side note: Jokic was not the backup to start the season. https://www.basketball-reference.com.../gamelog/2017/ He asked to go to the bench because playing beside Nurkic wasn't working. Eventually they realized that he was better than Nurkic with their starters and sat Nurkic before trading him. Who then broke out with the Blazers because they committed to using him correctly.)
JV has started but he was given a very narrowly-defined role, he wasn't played to his strengths, and he was/is pulled constantly even when he turns in good performances. He may not be elite but he is capable of more than he's shown and the main culprit has been coaching/development.
