Way to early predictions for the upcoming season!
(lemmy.world)
Alright guys this sub is a little dead and to bring a little discussion here I thought it would be fun to make some predications for next season!
MVP : Shai
DPOY : AD
MIP : Victor Wembayama
COTY : Redick
6MOY : Reid repeats
Champion : Thunder
I also predict the Nuggets will have a troubling season if no trades are made. Losing KCP and replacing him with Westbrook is going to be disastrous unless Braun really steps it up.
What’s some of your fun, realistic or even wild takes?
MVP: Luka
DPOY: Wemby
MIP: Wemby (feels weird to say given he was ROY and 2nd in DPOY but think he gets it)
COTY: Dagneault (Thunder Coach) Repeat
Darkhorse Candidate: Pop - if Spurs make playoffs I could see him getting it if no other candidate stands out. Partially due to legacy
6MOY: Malik Monk (has anyone won this b2b? kinda basing it off that)
WCF Winner: Nuggets
ECF Winner: Celtics
Champion: Nuggets (Source: Copium)
I think you’re likely right on them losing KCP though, they need to hit on most of:
I could see 1 or 2 of these happening but they need like 3-4 to win along with Murray playing like their winning season since the margin of error is so slim without KCP and how good the Celtics are.
I like the dark horse candidate! Pop would deserve it if he can take that team to a top 5 seed.
I like your picks. Luka is for sure going to be a top MVP getter and I’m ashamed to admit it but I forgot about him when I was making my predictions. Good call out on him and Pop!
No shame there’s a lot of good candidates honestly and Shai would be my (very close) 2nd pick!
