Probably my MIP candidate, but ofc nba only cares about points so he might not get it.
The fact that you are so high on guy shooting 28% from 3 and 73% from the stripe is nothing short of baffling. Seems like the type of player you'd trash, not pick as a personal favorite for an award. Are you feeling ok?

Josh Giddey turned 20 five days ago. By all perimeters he should be rookie, not sophmore. ( for comparison sake, he is one month older than Banchero ).
His preseason stats in 22 min : 14 ppg, 6 rpg, 6,6 apg.
56,6% FG, 53% for 3 , 64% FTs.
He had two games where he had 9 assists in less than 26 min.
Btw where did you get that i'm " so high" ? Projecting much?
I said he is my favorite for MIP because he will get touches, usage and he improved over summer ( guy averaged 9 apg in SL playing slightly over 26 min ).
That doesn't mean he is flawless or that i'm "so high" on him like you tried to paint it. But it doesn't take educated scouts to see 20 years old guy who moves ball around like Jokic to understand his passing is already one of best in nba.
