J.E. Skeet

Joe and Johnson before the injury off at the end of the year.

But then we're like, oh, is that just Mickey Mouse March?

You know, will that translate into this next season?

It has.

I mean, he's bumped his scoring average from 17 to 26 per game.

He's nearly double his assist numbers, like you said, Trey, being asked to be sort of like their point guard.

Double those free throws.

Oh, God, I mean, drives relentlessly.

Yeah, you know, gets to the line all the time.

I just didn't see him becoming, you know, he's basically an all-star walk at this point.

And I don't even know where you have him in the league.

Like, he looks like a top 25, maybe top 20 sort of type player.

And the Blazers are good.

That's the other part of this and why maybe he's helped out in this vote when you're comparing him to Jalen Johnson and Keontae George.

The Blazers are better right now.

So good list, though.

We're going to have a good MIP winner.

If any of those three guys, maybe Jalen Dern gets back into it, whoever.

Even Nikhil Alexander-Walker.

I was surprised he got a couple votes here in this.
