Interested to see who the other finalists end up being for 6MOY. It's Clarkson's to win obviously, but off the top of my head, I can't really even think of anyone that could make a case. And yes, that includes Thad Young lol

MIP for me is Jerami Grant. that guy can ball. should have stayed as a Nugget though.

6th man is Clarkson by a mile.

15/8/5 in 18 minutes.

Get the f*** out of here with this Clarkson is a lock crap.

6th man has and always will be about PPGZ! Sorry that’s the hard truth.

That's actually All Star numbers right there maybe Thad can be nominated for MVP

Jerami Grant will win this unless he falls off a cliff. And he’s about as consistent as it gets.

His efficiency has gone down as team's gameplan for him being the first option. He is still probably the front runner but its worth noting if that continues, he may not be looked at for his early-season success.

THJ and Brunson should have a little place in the discussion

Malik Monk making some noise as well

Thad being Thad.

Very clearer better than Clarkson. Guessing people that say the opposite simply haven't watched the Bulls at all this year. Hyper efficient 18-5-3-3-1 tonight, just another day at the office. Dude affects the game so much more than JC.

This should be Powell.

RPM
Clarkson +2.64
Thad -0.74

RAPTOR
Clarkson +4.5
Thad +4.4

BPM
Clarkson +2.7
Thad +3.4

I agree Young should be in the conversation, disagree that he is 'very clearly better' or 'affects the game so much more.' Advanced metrics paint them as pretty even, and Clarkson has been instrumental to our success (as has Thad to Chicago's).

Dario may start sneaking into the 6th man convo. Most likely won't win it but should be included in the convo.

Clocian · Post #154 » by **Clocian** » Sun Mar 7, 2021 2:26 am

Thad should most definitely be in the talks for 6th man of the year. He's been incredible.

Jerami Grant is just a volume scorer/role player getting starter shots

Wood is legit an all star level player but injury probably took him out of the equation

Sixth man is Clarkson

That is my list as well

Sleeping on LaVine improvement. Find someone to replace on your MIP list or maybe throw it in the trash.

45.6 / 38.4 / 82.3 career

52.5 / 43.5 / 85.7 This season
28.7pts 5 rpg 5 apg

I saw a Bulls comparison graphic from 2020 season:
2019-20 Lavine 25.5/g (4.8 / 4.2)
2010-11 Rose 25/g
2016-17 Butler 23.5/g

Read on Twitter

I'll update it for this year adding:
1997-98 Jordan 28.7/g (5.8 / 3.5)
2020-21 LaVine 28.7/g... (5.2 / 5.1)

Guy is climbing every year. At least the coaching Allstar votes finally noticed.

With all the talk about Lavine and Young you would think Chicago would be one of the top teams in the eastern conference. Nope, lower team in the east, if you aren’t making your team better then I would call them empty stats.

I don’t know about that. Bulls are better this year and lavine is a bug reason why..

Who do you currently think is more worthy of the Most Improved Player award?
