The NBA regular season is coming to an end, and it's time to predict a wave of major awards this season. Which player will stand out in the MVP awards? It is widely believed that there is fierce competition between Joel Embiid, Nikolai Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo. What about Rookie of the Year? The rise of Jaylen Green and the stability of Scotty Barnes make Evan Mobley wonder if he can win the award. The following people are the most popular candidates for this season's major awards.
Regular Season MVP: Joel Embiid
Stats: 29.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.4 blocks
Second place: Nikolai Jokic
Third place: Alphabet Brother
Embiid must be the MVP because his team has a better ranking than the Denver Nuggets and Milwaukee Bucks. In Ben Simmons' absence, Embiid took on the team's responsibilities, which became his plus.
For most of the season, Jokic has held first and second places in the MVP charts, but he has struggled to get more votes. Because the Nuggets are currently only 6th in the West. While his teammates had serious injury problems and Jokic played very well, the Nuggets' ranking affected him. Alphabet Cobbie Embiid got more help, and the Bucks' slow start to the season affected his chances. Even though Alphabet brother is helping the Bucks get back to life and Jokic is doing something we've never seen in a center before, we're looking forward to Joel Embiid's first MVP award.
DOPY: Adebayor
Stats: 19.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 0.8 blocks
Second place: Gobert
Adebayo's defense has been key to the Heat's success this season. Despite being slightly short in the centre position, Adebayor has an excellent positioning on the defensive end and is a great one-on-one defender. Spoo praised Adebayo's performance for reasons that are easy to understand. Under the basket, Adebayor has been scrambling for rebounds for the Heat. The Heat are a defensively strong team, but Adebayor takes them to another level.
If Adebayor fails to get THEPY, Gobert will be another favourite. In addition, the efforts of The Alphabet Brother are also commendable, and as a player who can root five positions on the defensive field, he has performed equally well.
Rookie of the Year: Evan Mobley
Stats: 15.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.7 blocks
Second place: Scotty Barnes
Third place: Cunningham
The Rookie of the Year selection is one of the most interesting storylines of the season so far, as there are two outstanding rookies: Evan Mobley and Scotty Barnes. Mobley is a blocking center with all-Star-level offensive skills, including jump shots and basket finishes. Thanks to Mobley's presence, the Cleveland Cavaliers became a surprising playoff team.
Scotty Barnes is in second place by a slim margin, and his average of 15.3 points and 7.6 rebounds per game is truly impressive. In addition to VanVleet, Scotty Barnes has been at the top of the Toronto Raptors. Cunningham's NBA career started slowly, but he showed signs of becoming a star in the future, averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. Finally, given Mobley's biggest influence on the Cavaliers, he should have pushed Barnes and Cunningham to win the best rookie honor.
Sixth Man of the Year: Hiro
The stats are 20.9 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.1 blocks
Second place: Kelly Oubre Jr
Third place: Jordan Clarkson
The only awards competition that ended with an overwhelming victory. Hiro averaged a career-high 20.9 points per game, and the Heat have relied on Giro's offense for much of the season. As an elite shooter who deserves a top-salary contract, there's no doubt that Hiro is the best sixth man in the league.
Oubre also excelled on the bench, contributing 15.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game for the Hornets, helping the team currently have a place in the playoffs. Clarkson's influence and stats are currently down from last year, but the shooting guard is strong on the bench, averaging 16.1 points per game, and his efforts are commendable.
Fastest improving player: Morant
Stats: 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.4 blocks
Second place: Hiro
Third place: Miles Bridges
Morant has made his mark as the Western Conference's All-Star starter and is the league's second-best guard after Curry. Morant is an athletic point guard who has gone from being a budding all-star to a superstar in the league. Thanks to Morant's leadership and unstoppable offensive ability, the Memphis Grizzlies maintain a second-best record in the West.
As an MVP candidate, Morant is likely to win the Award for the Most Improved Player. Hiro will win the sixth man of the year, but is also likely to finish runner-up with the fastest improved player, while Milesbridges is also commendable for his development as a quasi-All-Star.
Coach of the Year: Monty Williams
Record: 60 wins, 14 losses (1st in the West, 1st in the NBA)
Second place: Spoo
Third place: Tyler Jenkins
There are some great coaches in the league this season, but only 3 coaches have a chance to win the Coach of the Year award: Monty Williams, Eric Spoorstra and Taylor Jenkins. Monty Williams is the most popular because he is the coach of the best team in the West and the best team in the NBA. The Suns have done a great job in the top seed position.
Spoo is also the head coach of the Miami Heat, the number one seed in the East. In the end, Jenkins helped the Grizzlies become a major force in the West, with the team struggling to play with or without superstar Jamorant.
