Gambling isn't worth it. But to answer your question, it'll be Wemby.

Andrew Nembhard. Hali will be out and he'll be thrust into a ton of the playmaking duties with him out. He averaged 10/3/5 last season so there's a ton of upward mobility on those stats with significantly more usage.

I think very rarely does a 2nd year player, especially a 21 l or 22 year old, win MIP. I think it is normally 3rd to 5th year players. The expectation is they will naturally improve.

There's often a difference between who wins the trophy and who I think deserved it the most. But if we're going by the history of the award, I have Amen, Mathurin and Victor as potential contenders (though Victor would likely have to be a leading MVP candidate to have a shot).

I can see Ware winning it, too, but it's indeed not common for Sophomores to win. However, it's not unheard of either and what seems to really matter is that the players reaches All-Star level or at least close to it. So the jump for Ware would have to be a very big one.

Top 7 range from +750 to 2000, you can put a few units on those and might get one to hit. Personally, Wemby is great odds as is Holmgren, and most of the EC. Amen is favoured and I think he has a huge season, also his brother Ausar could do the same. You're going to need to sprinkle across a couple of plays unless you back one candidate in particular but it seems pretty wide open.

Amen Thomson is betting favorite.
Andrew Nembhard is second, I like him, his stats should improve by a lot.
Reed Sheppard is interesting bet

But I do not see fun in betting MIP, it is a shot in the dark, what if you just miss? I don't know, I bet something so I would have something to cheer for, and if your guy just does not perform out of the gate its just over.

I think it's going to be someone from Portland, like Sharpe, Advija, or Camara. Maybe Scoot if he can get healthy fast.

I see Sharpe making a big leap this year.

MIP goes to the player who exceeded expectations the most so it’s impossible to answer that question right now

Obviously Wemby has a decent shot at going from young star to potential MVP (doubt it unless Spurs dominate reg. season).

But amongst lower-tier players turning into all-stars, here are my top-3:

1. Amen
2. Sharpe
3. Matas

Dark-horses: Giddey (depends on his defense and Bulls' record), Jabari Smith and Jalen Johnson, if he stays healthy.
