Vote James Harden

MVP caliber play from his 29-32 year old seasons, less injury risk than Embiid

Vote De'Aaron Fox

Intangibles, athleticism and is now shooting 3s gives him perennial all-star upside, plus probably overvalued by his own team

I love the Mitchell nominations, but I'm not sure he belongs on the list quite yet with Lillard/Fox still sitting there [he and Fox are neck and neck to me].

I have Mitchell above Fox at this point, but he's still below some guys who need to be nominated, and Lillard is one of them.

This.

I don't get Lillard over Westbrook thing at all. Westbrook, as highly flawed a player as he is, is still superior to Lillard and is locked up for 3 years as opposed to only 2.
