Antetokounmpo has finished inside the top four every year in MVP voting since winning back-to-back awards in 2019 and 2020. He's the best player in the game — this award is his to lose. Last season, Antetokounmpo went from a good passer to a great one. He's also become an even more versatile defender, stepping in as a center for portions of the 202...
Banchero was too good for Summer League. He was pulled after only two games. He averaged 20 points per game and looked very ready for NBA action. His bucket-getting is great, but it was his passing that had people buzzing. It's still unclear if Banchero will be the best player from what's looking like a pretty talented 2022 draft class. But he will...
Gobert has already won this award three times, most recently in 2021. He finished in third place last season, while Utah's defensive playoff collapses were fresh in voters' minds. Gobert should look better in Minnesota than he did in Utah. It's been talked about to death, but he had no perimeter help with the Jazz. He's one of the best rim protecto...
This award generally goes to big-time scorers on winning teams. Poole checks both of those boxes. He is coming off a breakout season for the Warriors, averaging 18.5 points per game in 2021-22. Now, he will move to the bench with Klay Thompson returning to full health. Poole was exposed defensively in the playoffs, but this is a regular season awar...
It's a shame that Lue hasn't won a single Coach of the Year award yet. He's probably the best play-caller in the entire league. But more than being an X's and O's master, he knows how to motivate his teams and maximize the talent on his rosters. Just ask LeBron James. The Clippers are going to be very good. This is Lue's chance to get the recogniti...
Eastern Conference playoff teams
1. Philadelphia 76ers 2. Milwaukee Bucks 3. Boston Celtics 4. Brooklyn Nets 5. Cleveland Cavaliers 6. Atlanta Hawks 7. Miami Heat* 8. Toronto Raptors* 9. Chicago Bulls* 10. New York Knicks* *Play-In Tournament Ranking the top seven in the East was tough. Putting the Sixers up top is certainly a spicy pick, but I believe in a revamped James Harden that is putting his money where his mouth iswhen it comes to winning. Joel Embiid is a top-three player in the league. And I love their offseason ad...
Western Conference playoff teams
1. Los Angeles Clippers 2. Golden State Warriors 3. Denver Nuggets 4. Phoenix Suns 5. Memphis Grizzlies 6. Minnesota Timberwolves 7. Dallas Mavericks* 8. New Orleans Pelicans* 9. Los Angeles Lakers* 10. Sacramento Kings* *Play-In Tournament The Clippers only had 42 wins last season. Losses to the Wolves and Pelicans in the Play-In Tournament kept them out of the playoffs. But this is far from the same team. They have the most wing depth in the league, they are getting Kawhi Leonard and Paul G...
Eastern Conference champion: 76ers
The Sixers were a great team last season, and they've shored up some of their biggest weaknesses. Tucker, Harrell and a more experienced Paul Reed give them innings-eating options when Embiid sits on the bench. That has been their major Achilles' heel. The biggest worry for this team has to obviously be the health of Embiid. If the Sixers finally can avoid some bad luck, then they can beat every other team in the East.
