Wemby clearly deserves the top spot. Reading the comments, you would think that Anthony Edwards has won a title and a mvp. Wemby last year and Ant last year is very close. However, anyone with no bias could see that Wemby has Ant in quite a few categories. Scoring: Ant (Ant takes more attempts and is more efficient than Wemby by a margin) Passing: Toss up, (Its very close if you really watch the games). But I believe in the last 20 games alone wemby was averaging like 5.3 assist and in the last 10 he was averaging 6.1. This should also be preface by the fact that the spurs in a vacuum played better as the year went on behind Wemby's gravity. Rebounding: Wemby Defensive: Cmon I shouldnt have to say I love Ant and his team is more successful than Wemby however, if team success is the deciding factor of who the better player is then we need to have some tough conversations.
