The NBA regular season is over, so the NBA's major awards selection has gradually begun. The following xiaobian will give its own predictions for the six major awards of the NBA in the new season.
MVP (Most Valuable Player): Jokic
This season's average: 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks
In recent years, the MVP list competition has been very fierce, the first two years of the alphabet brother completed the MVP of the two consecutive zhuang, and this year Jokic is also very likely to complete the lianzhuang. Although the Bucks' alphabet brother and the 76ers' Embiid performed well this year, through high-level data, whether it is victory contribution value, irreplaceable value, plus or minus contribution value, efficiency value and net win score change of the team leaving the game, Jokic's data are ranked first in the league. And Jokic became the only player in NBA history to score 2,000 points, 1,000 boards and 500 assists in a single season, which also added a lot of points for him to compete for MVP.
DPOY (Best Defensive Player): Smart
This season's average: 12.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.7 steals
Not a single guard in the NBA has been voted Best Defensive Player since Payton in 1995-96, but the season has been different. The Celtics have a defensive efficiency of 106.9 points this season to be the league's number one, while Smart is the core of the Green Army's defensive core. Especially after the All-Star Game, the Celtics relied on tough defense to play wave after wave of winning streaks, from February to April they lost only six games, the team's record all the way to the second place in the East, and Smart's true defensive plus-minus was the first in the team. Although the defensive data of Gobert and Alphabet Brother are both top-notch, they are somewhat aesthetically tired in the eyes of the judges. Personally, I feel that I am more optimistic about Smart in the selection of DPOY.
Best Sixth Man: Hiro
This season's average: 20.7 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists
In the award of the best sixth man of the season, Hiro can be said to be undisputed. His overall shooting percentage of 44.7% and three-point shooting of 39.9% this season have both ushered in the best season of his career, and he has also contributed to the Heat's first place in the East. The "crooked mouth god of war" who was once in the Finals has now found his own position, just like the Spurs' Ginobili.
Best Rookie: Barnes
The battle for the best rookie this season is also a bit fierce, with Tanhua Mobly and fourth-talent Barnes, and the overall performance of the two rookie seasons is higher than that of the champion and the top of the list. From the data of the two, Mobly averaged 15 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, while Barnes averaged 15.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game, and the data was similar. Mobley is better on the defensive end, while Barnes is more balanced on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. If you had to choose between the two, I think Barnes had a better chance, because Barnes played five more games than Moblillo, and the Raptors have a better record than the Cavaliers.
The fastest improving player: Desmond Bain
There are also multiple options in the award for the most improved player, with 76ers Maxi Grizzlies' Bain and Warriors' Poole both improving fast. But overall, Bain has a better chance of winning the award, averaging only 9.2 points per game last season and 18.2 points per game this season, and his average playing time is less than 30 minutes per game, which shows that his efficiency is very high. And the Grizzlies have a second-high record in the league this season, and the team is the first fire point of the Grizzlies' outside line in the absence of Morant, and the main Bain is the end of the first round, and this season is also his second season.
Best Coach: Monty Williams
The Suns have a record of 64 wins and 18 losses this season, not only ranking first in the league in the regular season, but also breaking the team's record, and the Suns can still play a winning streak even in the absence of Paul. On the one hand, the Suns' lineup is relatively complete, on the other hand, it benefits from the overall planning of coach Monti.
If Thibodeau's return to the Knicks last season stole The Monty's limelight, no one can do that this season, not even the Grizzlies' Jenkins. What's more, if the Suns, who are number one in the league this season, don't have a single award, it's obviously a bit unfair. So what do people think differently about this?
