NBA Awards 2019-20
Posted: Thu Aug 8, 2019 9:49 am
Even though is too early, we could take some guesses on the 2019-20 NBA Awards.
I go first:
MVP:
Well, the candidates here are all of them well known but I would go with Steph Curry this year. He will carry the Warriors without KD and Klay (most of the season) and I think he will do just fine. His numbers probably will go up and the team really needs him.
Dark Horse: Joel Embiid. Philly will have a solid season and Embiid - if healthy - can thrive. It's maybe his time.
ROTY:
The obvious choice is Zion, but I won't go with him. Ja Morant will be my pick. Starter, lots of minutes, plenty of freedom, no pressure for results and a player who I think fits the NBA and his team. Expect him to have an excellent season.
Dark horse: Tyler Herro . He'll get also plenty of time on the court and he is a killer from outside.
DPOTY:
Gobert won it 2 times in a row, AD will be focused on offense, Embiid as well, George plays for a super D-team so he does not need to put a lot of individual effort, same for Leonard. I will go with Giannis here. He is getting better and better on defense every year, I do not see him winning MVP again and was candidate last year too. Why not?
Dark horse: Pat Beverley. Unlike George and Leonard, he will benefit even more from a strong defensive team and he will get some more recognition about it. Plus, he can save ALL his energy on chasing down opponents.
MIP
That's a very hard one. But I expect Lonzo to have a breakout year. It's now or never for him and he has the potential.
Dark horse: Kevon Looney. Unlike that he makes it to the award, but we probably see some serious progress on him this year.
6thMAN
Lou had enough of them. Time for someone else to win it and I predict Dinwiddie this year. He will be a bench guy for sure, he is a high volume scorer and will only get better. Brooklyn this year will most likely have a good season.
Dark horse: Isaiah Thomas. He has the talent to upset the league, if he manages to get back to his shape.
Nice to have me on board, I have been reading you guys since last year.
Please discuss
