Way too early. Almost non-sensical to make a list at this point.
Harden has been the most valuable player so far, imo.
No one has won DPOY at this point. Leonard won two years ago and he was out of the picture till maybe game 60.
Leonard and Lebron will compete for MVP by March.
You win awards post All-Star break. Its been that way for a long ass time. Even last year qhen curry was dismantling everyone..they had to wait till march to really give him the award
i disagree, he was always at or near the top of the defensive rating rankings. This year he's awful and we're not stopping anybody... it would take a massive tear from the whole team to even put him in the conversation imo
If you follow NBA voting at all, it's almost always..
Narrative, Late Season Game statements, Raw Stats, Advanced stats.
Kawhi was no one in anyone list of DPOY two years ago.
Yeah, it is early, but guys fill out the ballot, just for fun..let's not act a 20 games isn't a significant portion of the season for trends to not set in..
MVP- CP3
DPOY-Deandre
COTY- D'Antoni
Most surprising teams
Lakers
Rockets
Hornets
Disappointing
Wolves
Wolves
Wolves
Best off season move (coach)
Lakers
Worst off season move (franchise)
Blazers
I don't understand why people are disappointed in the wolves. Did you guys actually expect a second year player to carry that ty team to the playoffs?
There is no way WestBrick isn't the MVP, his VORP/BPM is on pace to shatter LeBrick/Dad Killer's ALL-TIME record & he's leading his team in points/rebounds/assists/steals.
He dominated HarDone when they went up H2H including posterizing Capela to seal the victory:
Fill out the above awards ballot, bro..There is no way WestBrick isn't the MVP, his VORP/BPM is on pace to shatter LeBrick/Dad Killer's ALL-TIME record & he's leading his team in points/rebounds/assists/steals.
He dominated HarDone when they went up H2H including posterizing Capela to seal the victory:
MVP: Giannis Antetokounmpo - Right now, the Greek Freak has more points per game than Melo or Paul George, as many rebounds per game as Blake, more assists per game than Curry and Conley, as many steals per game as Kawhi, and more blocks per game than Ibaka and DeContract. His BPM is an eyepopping +9.6, and he's top ten in PER. He's only 21 years old and he's already doing it all at a high level. And he's carrying an awful Bucks team missing its second-best player (Middleton) to respectability. Anyone who isn't watching this kid play whenever they get the chance is missing out.
DPOY: Joel Embiid - The Sixers (the Sixers!) have the best defense in the NBA by a mile when Embiid is on the floor:
COTY: Fred Hoiberg - Despite one of the Bulls' stars (Jimmy Butler) hating him, the other one (Wade) being old and washed-up, and his front office saddling him with cancers like Rondo and Michael Carter-Williams, they're still third in their conference. At times, their offense moves the ball like the Spurs of old, which shouldn't be happening on a team with so many chuckers and cancers.
MIP: Kemba Walker - After years of chucking and bricking, he can actually shoot from deep now (42% from three so far this year, compared to 34% for his career). And while it might be a fluke, he did previously improve from a 30% three-point shooter in 2014-15 to 37% last year. He's still not turning it over as much as he did in his first few seasons and he's better at getting his shots within the flow of the offense.
ROY: Joel Embiid, again - Even on a strict minutes restriction, he's still leading all rookies in PPG, RPG and BPG. On a side note, LOL at Lakerfans who spent all offseason sucking Brandon Ingram off. He doesn't even look better than Jamal Murray so far, let alone being "the next Durant."
6MOTY: Eric Gordon - Somehow, Crnerst
Most Surprising Teams: Rockets, Bulls, Hornets
Most Disappointing Teams: Timberwolves, Hawks, Pacers
Worst Offseason Moves: Clippers (Jamal Crawford and Austin Rivers); Blazers (pretty much everything, but especially giving $70 million to Evan Turner); Pelicans (Solomon Hill)
Best Offseason Moves: Rockets (Anderson and Gordon were solid pickups); Nets (Kenny Atkinson is an underrated good hire, and they somehow managed to get Sean Kilpatrick off the scrap heap); Lakers (going through chemo)
TOSB of the Year: Paul Pierce
Comeback of the Year: Wilson Chandler

lol Ingram..dude is looking like Tayshun Prince 2.0 at best..
The Bulls starting to look like a legit Top 4 East team, tbh..they'd have even been better without the Rondo trade..
he looks good imo.. you can see that there is some potential... Skinny as thoughNice write-up
lol Ingram..dude is looking like Tayshun Prince 2.0 at best..
If Antetokounmpo ever learns how to be even an average shooter it'll be scary. Shooting like 25% from outside 15 feet and still playing ridiculously well.
He will probably start jacking up 3s & shoot himself in the foot just like how WestBrick jacks up 3s when he's a 30% shooter.
I have seen few 45-50 wins+ playoffs predictions; the shocking part though is the lack of improvement on defense from the core players under Thibs...
TOSB Of The Year
Not sure I can hate on Dirk that much yet; he is injured. And he outlasted everyone else in his generation.
Yeah, ain't much faster & more agile compared to Fathead, the Durant aspiration is quite befuddling.Nice write-up
lol Ingram..dude is looking like Tayshun Prince 2.0 at best..
Wiggins & in particular Lavine have had some of the worst defensive metrics in NBA history the past couple of seasons IIRC
Ingram will be fine ...late bloomer prospect. Think a skinnier more raw kiwi tbhMVP: Giannis Antetokounmpo - Right now, the Greek Freak has more points per game than Melo or Paul George, as many rebounds per game as Blake, more assists per game than Curry and Conley, as many steals per game as Kawhi, and more blocks per game than Ibaka and DeContract.

Westbrook's usage rate is 41%. While Harden's is 33% and still close to averaging a triple double.There is no way WestBrick isn't the MVP, his VORP/BPM is on pace to shatter LeBrick/Dad Killer's ALL-TIME record & he's leading his team in points/rebounds/assists/steals.
He dominated HarDone when they went up H2H including posterizing Capela to seal the victory:
Harden got cucked by WestBrick in their H2H & those do count.
Shabazz is actually the worst of those 3.
At this point MVP is Westbrook by a mile, but that will probably change because OKC's record won't be good enough for him to win it. He's certainly more valuable to his team than any other player. OKC is a bottom 3 team without him.
