Giannis would have won it if they played 3 games .
But they only played 2.

Winning this award on West is hell, Harden, Doncic, Lebron;Davis, George.... Jesus.

Giannis put up 33-15-4 over his last three, but did it at under a 111.58 pace (and a 35.9% USG).

Vucevic put up 22-14-4 on a 100.11 pace and a 23.4 USG% USG.

Eh.

These types of awards are generally given to the players with the best raw stats and pace of play doesn't ever seem to be factored into it. I mean Towns has won, Harden has won twice, and Giannis has won once as well and those are the top 3 teams in pace this year. I agree with your premice though about pace inflating statlines (my argument this summer in the Collins vs Isaac debates), but when it comes to things like this it doesn't seem to matter.

It's much easier for me to buy the "he already won a player of the week award so they want to give it to another player" argument then it is that one. Even though Harden winning his second consecutive one kind of throws a wrench into that theory as well.

Think of it like Vuc carried the magic out of the bottom and got three in a row without Isaac too.

Rebounding matters. Vučević was elite on the boards this whole week.
