On January 5, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA officially announced the East-West Player of the Month in December, and the Jazz's backcourt core Donovan Mitchell and Philadelphia's interior core Joel Embiid were selected as the best players in the West and East. Both of them are averaging very luxurious, and they are able to lead their respective teams to a very good record!
Mitchell averaged 30.2 points and five assists per game last month, shooting 50.2 percent from the field, leading the Jazz to an impressive record of 12 wins and 2 losses in a single month, making it the best team in the Western Conference. It can be said that Mitchell has shown great dominance in the game, whether it is the three-point shot on the outside line or the end of the inside line after the breakthrough, it has shown great efficiency, and the Jazz will become the most terrifying team in the league this season, and it is really time to achieve results in the playoffs!
In addition to Mitchell, the December Player of the Month Western Conference nominations include Curry, Alexander and James. Curry also played very well in the December game, but there were times when the game was unstable, plagued by personnel, and the Warriors also lost some games! The data of Alexander and James are very good, but due to the team's record, it is difficult to be too competitive!
Embiid averaged 29.2 points, 11.2 rebounds and 3.9 assists last month, leading Philadelphia to an 8-6 record! Embiid's personal ability and game status are completely without any problems, but in fact, there is still some controversy about the award of the Eastern Conference Player of the Month, that is, the core of the Bulls, DeRozan. In the 8 games that DeRozan appeared on, the Bulls won all of them, and DeRozan's own personal data is also very perfect, definitely not much worse than Embiid, and also contributed to the whistle-blowing kill, such a performance really deserves the title of a best player!
In addition to Embiid being elected the best of the month, there are also alphabet brothers, DeRozan, Durant, Garland, Lowry and VanVleet have all been nominated, compared to Embiid and DeRozan, others really have little competitiveness, only DeRozan has the opportunity to compete with Embiid for the title of best player, and it is indeed a bit surprising that he was not able to be elected!
