The regular season is coming to an end, the NBA 6 awards are predicted!MVP2 choose 1, and there is no suspense about the best coach

Preface

The 2023-2024 NBA regular season is coming to an end, with only about 10 games left for each team, and the competition between teams is getting more and more fierce at this point, especially on the West side. However, although the regular season is not over yet, everyone has already discussed the ownership of the major awards, and there are too many stars who have performed very well in their individual strength and team leadership this season, so let's take a look at the six major awards, including MVP, who will go to in the end.

Manager of the Year: Dagneault (Thunder)

If you want the train to run fast, it all depends on the headband, and the head coach definitely plays a pivotal role in a team, not only at the tactical level, but also in the locker room to stabilize the morale of the army, develop players, etc., so a good manager is definitely possible to make a team look new. There have been a lot of head coaches who have led the team to a good record this season, so my personal prediction is that this award will be given to the young coach of the Thunder, Daigneault.

Last season, the Thunder were only a play-in team, but under the leadership of Dagneault, the Thunder have completed their rise this season, and so far they are in second place in the West with a 49-21 record. And the Thunder is a very young team, their core players are only 25 years old, Jalen and Chet are still in the rookie stage, it can be said that they are both cultivated by Dagneault, so although the Celtics have a better record, considering the requirements of many aspects, Dagneault is undoubtedly more suitable for this award than Mazzulla.

Sixth Man of the Year: Monk (King)

There is no suspense about this award, the Kings' Monk is likely to get the first best sixth man trophy in his career, this season Monk played 69 games all as a substitute, he averaged 15.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game in these 69 games, of which the average points and assists per game are his career highs, and Monk has also become the second player since 2000 to average at least 15 points and 5 assists per game as a bench player, the last one is Loewe, he has done it twice, and he was also voted the best sixth man in both seasons.

This season, the Kings have won many games with Monk's rampage, he scored 39 points against the Timberwolves, and 37+3+9 against the Magic, and now Monk is the No. 3 scorer on the Kings team, and it can even be said that he is the team's third leader. The Kings are not yet stable in the next standings, so if they want to continue to win, Monk will have to show better form.

Most Improved Player: Maxey (76ers)

In fact, if you look at the score, Maxey is not the best candidate for this award, the Nets' Thomas compared to last season, his average points per game has increased by 10.9 points, but his attendance is average, so far he has played a total of 56 games, if you want to participate in the selection of the award, then he must play 65 games in the regular season, which means that Thomas has no play-off hope, he still has to play 9 of the remaining 11 games, considering that he still has injuries, so it is basically unlikely.

As for Maxey, although the scoring is not as much as Thomas's improvement, his improvement this season is also visible to the naked eye, he can average 25.7 points, 3.6 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1 steal per game, all four of which are career highs, and he was also successfully selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career. In the case of Embiid's injury, although Maxi was frantically targeted by opponents, he still put up a good performance, and the team still has a chance to make the playoffs as a top-six player in the East.

Rookie of the Year: Wembanyama (Spurs)

The selection of the best rookie can be said to be the least suspenseful of the six awards, Wembanyama's performance is so good, he and Chet were back and forth at the beginning of the season, but as the season progresses, Wembanyama has been improving, and now he has become the strongest player in the Spurs team. Wembanyama averaged 20.7 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.4 blocks per game this season, showing absolute talent on both offensive and defensive ends, especially his deterrence and effect on the defensive end can be compared with stars such as Gobert and thick eyebrows.

On the offensive end, Wembanyama's ability to hold the ball has taken him a lot beyond the average inside, and he can not only eat cakes, but also carry the ball alone. With Wembanyama's current potential, it is a matter of time before the All-Stars, the best team, DPOY, and MVP, and at present, before the start of the season, the outside world said that he can't fight against him, and his body is brittle, and Wembanyama has played 63 games this season, and he can also respond in the game when facing players such as Brother Alphabet, thick eyebrows, and Jokic, so the best rookie is no longer running.

DPOY: Gobert (Timberwolves)

The award of Best Defensive Player is almost famous, Gobert is already far ahead of others in the odds of the outside net, and those who have watched the Timberwolves this season know that Gobert deserves it. This season, he averaged 13.6 points, 12.9 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.1 blocks per game, ranking second in the league in rebounds, and his average of 3.7 rebounds per game was also second in the league and sixth in the league in blocks.

With Gobert's help, the Timberwolves have ranked first in the league in points conceded (106.5) and defensive efficiency (108.3) so far this season. Gobert's comprehensiveness on the defensive end allows the Timberwolves to use a variety of defensive systems, whether it is the center retreating to emphasize the frame, or delaying the core of the ball in the opposite hand, or even switching defenses, although the Lakers' thick eyebrows also have this ability, but considering the record gap between the teams, he is likely to not be able to compete with Gobert.

MVP: Jokic (Nuggets)

Originally, the biggest favorite for the MVP award should be Embiid, who averaged 35.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.8 blocks per game before the injury, showing absolute dominance on both offensive and defensive ends. But unfortunately, due to injuries, Embiid's appearances this season can no longer participate in the selection of any awards, so the MVP winner can only be born from other players.

After Embiid's injury, the potential candidates for MVP are basically Jokic, Alexander, Doncic, and Brother Alphabet, considering the strength of the team, Doncic and Brother Alphabet have also fallen behind. Jokic averaged 26.1 points, 12.3 rebounds and 9 assists per game this season, and Alexander averaged 30.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.
