On January 5, Beijing time, the NBA official website announced the Player of the Month in the East and West in December, and in the West, Jazz star Mitchell pushed Curry, James and Paul to be selected, while embiid defeated Durant, Trae Young and Alphabet Brother in the East. It is worth mentioning that DeRozan, who staged a back-to-back whistle-to-whistle kill, was ultimately defeated, and fans expressed surprise. Judging from the results and personal data, Mitchell and Embiid are well deserved. Mitchell averaged 30 points and five assists per game in December, shooting 50% from the field, and his efficiency was very high, although his assists were not as good as the pure number one position, but the offensive ability was not comparable to Paul. Under his leadership, the Jazz have a record of 12 wins and 2 losses, and the team is currently in third place in the West. What's more, Mitchell was the Jazz's first point of fire on offense, and he contributed the highest value to the team's victories and ranked at the top of the league.
Not to mention Embiid, Mitchell has All-Stars like Conley around him, and he also has gobert, who is offensively and defensively in the 76ers. Embiid averaged 29 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists per game in December, and he also led the 76ers to an 8-6 record, although it is not very prominent, but it is still very difficult in the residual situation. It is worth mentioning that not only in December, after entering 2022, he still maintained excellent form, in the last game Embiid lied 35 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists of the big triple-double, becoming the first person after the team's Buckley. And in the last 4 games he has obtained 30+ statistics, equaling the career record. Of course, the 76ers can sit in the sixth position in the East, Maxi played an important role, although Simmons's problems were not solved, but the young player who replaced him, Maxi, who replaced him, showed a lot, in a sense, he can replace Simmons, which is why the 76ers are not in a hurry to trade Simmons.
Fans are puzzled as to why DeRozan, who has recently performed amazingly, lost the Eastern Conference Player of the Month. In fact, the best player of the month not only looks at personal data and team records, but also at the rate of diligence, last month DeRozan only played 8 games, while Embiid played 13 games, and the personal data sample is more. In addition, DeRozan's second whistle-blowing kill was on January 1, which is already a cross-moon. Of course, it can't be said that DeRozan is not a good star without being selected as the best player, and I personally think that the words of teammate Ball are very appropriate, he said that DeRozan has always been a player, and this year is his best year. In fact, the league's excellent players are far more than DeRozan alone, James, Curry, Jokic and Gobert in the West, and Alphabet Brother, Durant, Harden and Trae Young in the East are the backbone of the league. Fans don't have to be disappointed, either, as there's only one player in the best.
