I just think that the narrative will be on Embiid's side and if he stays healthy he will have another monster season. Also Shai will also probably have a better story as well as possibly 60+ wins, so I think the Mavs would need a top 3 seed at worst for Luka to win it and I just don't see that in their current roster. He will probably be the most deserving though unless Embiid plays like the start of last year.
@AM_VITAL26 күн бұрын
@@zsomborszigeti6797 I think Luka’s narrative is just as good. He lead his team to the NBA Finals while dealing with a multitude of injuries. Their current roster can definitely be a top 3 seed with the additions of Klay, Quentin Grimes, and Naji Marshall which improves the 3 point shooting, Lively’s second year improvement, and the fact that they will have even more continuity with PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford who were only acquired at the trade deadline and were able to make a finals run in 5 months of playing together. Barring any major injuries I don’t see how they won’t be a top 3 seed.

Luka’s actually "GOOD” at defense before the injuries piled up and got too much. If you watch Mavs Ball yk He was playing the best defense of his life this season and in the Clippers/OKC series that guys were 2/17 fg when guarded by Luka.

Putting an injured/unavailable player as MIP is dumb, they the only thing improving is availability which isn’t in the spirit of the award. Unless Lamelo gets like top 5 in MVP voting, then that’s a big jump from being an all star. Giddey will will MIP and Wemby will get DPOY

11:14 Wemby will be the best defender in the league for the next 12yrs if he can stay healthy which I think he can

Why should improvement be discounted or cancelled by expectations? You’re predicting. Should all your picks’ achievements also be looked down on because of these expectations/predictions?

Considering The amount of mental gymnastics performed to give Rudy Gobert DPOY over victor last season, I’m surprised Rusty didn’t pick him to win again.

There hasn’t been a DPOY on a non playoff team nor has there been a rookie DPOY. He was good enough to consider breaking precedent but not enough to actually do it when Rudy was leading the #1 defense in the league.
@patrick05Morgan25 күн бұрын
@@alsorustybuckets he’s not just any rookie though and considering his impact on an otherwise poor defense squad that should have been prioritized. Rudy Gobert is a solid rim presence and has been for his entire career, but he simply has limitations when it comes to mobility and perimeter defense that Wembanyama didn’t have this year. Victor racked up almost 40 more steals and nearly 100 more blocks despite playing 500 less minutes. That gap has to be acknowledged. It’s not the mvp award. The best defender in the league is the best defender regardless of if their team is bad or not. And based on you bringing up the fact that no one has won it without making the playoffs, why did you pick victor for next season when the spurs have a legitimate chance of not making it again? Just makes it seem like gobert winning again this year was a mistake.

It's gonna be tough for him to start with CP3 there. Sure, he has the size to play the 2. But with cp3 and wemby, they are going to want guys who can spread the floor and can create more space for those 2. Castle is a terrible shooter. Either way, I think he is more of a PG and this will be more of a learning year for him.
