Nominees:

V: Lowry

Very strange to see Wall there and people like Millsapp and Lowry out. This when Lowry beat Lillard at pretty much everything other than raw scoring and he is at 13. Three straight guys who didn't make the playoffs ahead of them, with only Butler making some sense. Lowry was the best player of a 56 win team. Hayward didn't make the playoffs in an unusual weak WC. The Mavs beat them clearly in a must win game.

N: Towns

V: Blake - only elite guy up there. The everyone else are good not great players
N: DeAndre Jordan

I think thats more an issue with lillard being too high then it is lowry being to low. i also think wall is better then both but not by a large margin. to me i have to put lillard above lowry because of durability and playoff perfomrance but its close. i also put IT ahead of lowry. i do love lowry though and he shouldnt be far behond the other PGs on this list.

i dont think its close between lowry and hayward, i think hayward is significantly better. i think if you put lowry on the jazz they dont sniff 56 wins. or make the playoffs.

vote: Blake. he is a top 12 talent who slides due to injury. to me he is still a top 20 player. he still had ELITE production as well.. 23/10/5 with a 22 PER is nothing to scoff at. if he didnt miss 50 games everyone has him 10 spots higher.

nom: Towns. same reason as last round. dude beasted. 18/10/2 with 22 PER and 59TS%. you could argue he is already the leagues best offensive center after cousins.

Blake wins. KAT is the next nominee.
