nbcsports.comPersonally I thought it was funny how they chose to report it as top 5, when it was 5th with precise results known for all players.
52
Every time I think I have grasped the English language completely something likes this comes along and I have no idea what it means.

Before the season I was expecting Lauri to be a serious contender for it
42
He'll probably get it next year on the Spurs
34
Why would you hurt me with such words

It's best we're ready for it when it happens.

Troy Brown Jr contending for it on our team would soften the blow!

He won’t

Oof.

Get ready for Prime LeVine.

To be LeHonest I LeCant tell

Was anyone else stunned by his goal of being All Defense?
15
Not stunned but I felt like he took a big leap in defense this year. He wasn’t playing matador defense like previous years.
Not stunned because I think he has a great mentality.
30
For me, it's like we just needed him to start washing his own dishes.
Then he said he wants to be one of the best dishwashers in the city.

Given how good he was before this season, this makes sense. The four dudes in front of Zach were starting from a much lower baseline. Doesn't take away from his improvement this season, but there's just no comparison to Julius Randle's crazy leap forward from "Who He Play For?" to All-Star
2
I said like two seasons ago Zach would improve more than Lauri and it's continued that way since lol.
1
i don’t understand why there’s such a large part of the fanbase that wants to trade him lol. wasnt jimmy the same age as him when he was traded ? i’d say zach and jimmy at age 26 are pretty comparable in caliber of player they are - jimmy was a better defender at that age but zach is a lot better on offense.
1
Jimmy took a team that regularly played Paul Zipser and Felicio to the playoffs. He’s just such a dog.
2
All he needs to work on is defense and decision making like a lot of players on his level, an offensive force.. Randal only won cause he’s in NYC and they made playoffs, he’s been under rated for few years. Guy from Detroit was clear winner IMO
-15
Randle was obvious. He went from being an average starter to all nba third team contention
27
I thought Jerami was a pretty solid option. Dude went from 12 points to 22.
7
Not saying he didn’t improve a lot but nowhere near the level Randle did
13
Randle is only averaging 5 more point and 3 more assist. Number wise Jerami seems to have improved more but Julius is actually leading a winning team.
4
Jerami Grant had his usage rate increase by 10% over last season. Did he improve or was he just given the opportunity as the number one option to do more things on the court?
Julius Randle’s usage rate increased by 1.7% while also improving. His numbers didn’t take a crazy leap but you can tell that he’s a much better player than last season.
2
Grant started off hot, but then was mehish the 2nd half of the season.
1
How are you so downvoted, thats a reasonable take. What a toxic place 😂
-2
It's not a very good take lol
3
Zachs next step is passing and defense. Reasonable.
Making the playoffs matters for any award. Reasonable.
Not saying grant should have won. I agree with Randle. But everything else said i agree with. So why would i downvote for one sentence i dont agree with thats his opinion. Its just childish is all im saying.
1
Downvote just means disagree lol I don't think expecting any kind of decorum on a sports sub is worth the effort

Markkanen should be first in Most Degenerated Player vote.
-15
LIP - Least Improved Player

So you are saying he improved?
0
Absolutely

He has improved every single year he had a healthy offseason in his career, and now he is bringing Coby and Pat.
