Nominees:

Vote: Thomas. Numbers not far off lillard offensively and he isnt a bottom 5 overall defender in the league like lillard. 22/6 on 57 TS and 21.5 PER.

Nom: Kevin Love. some recency bias with his poor finals showing will probably push him off the list but he had a fantastic season. He was 10th in the NBA in RAPM at +5.74. thats durant territory for impact. and as much as people bash his defense, he was a +2.54, 30th overall in the NBA at any position. his defensive rebounding should not be overlooked.

16/10 19 PER 56 TS% and sacraficed quite a bit of volume and stats to be third fiddle.

V: Lowry

N: Horford

V: Karl Anthony Towns - wer're talking about elite talents. Averaging 19p, 11r, 2blk on .542%FG as a rookie?! Unheard of. 2nd in 2pt FGs in the league to Lebron James. 4th in rebounds. 6th in blocks.
N: Brook Lopez - the quiet storm...3rd in 2pt FGs in the league to Towns & Lebron...9th in blocks per game...thats about it, but he's a solid B+ tier center

Ok...so no agreement on anything lol?

vote:Karl Anthony Towns

nominee:Brook Lopez

Ok...KAT wins and Brook is the new nominee.
