18.3 ppg, 10.5 rpb, 1.8 bpg, 22.59 PER

I think Zach Lowe said that he put KAT in his third team.

JimPete also put Towns on 3rd team, or at least he said he was going to during the finale.

Tim Bontemps (Wash Post) said he put KAT on his 3rd team, too.

When in the heck is ROY award announced? Only thing they've still got left are MVP, ROY & Executive of the Year, right?

Already announced DPOY, 6MOY & COY.

I thought ROY was one of the first awards announced.

What the hell is the NBA taking so long to announce the obvious and give KAT his well deserved ROY award. Why has it been two weeks since the last award was announced and nothing else in the meantime? I mean it's blatantly obvious who will win both remaining individual awards but still.

Edit: funny... now I see that Curry has been given the MVP award. Since when is the MVP announced before ROY? Have I missed something?!

Pecking order
Or the Nba wants Thibodeau there and other people to present the award.

Might not actually be there. Last I heard he was wanting to get everyone's number and might try to meet some players. Maybe voters ended up in an analytical debate and voted Jokic.
