And even with Denver, even with LeBron and Luka, even with Wemby, they got the best record yet again.

And it's been because of Shea.

So SGA would get my first place MVP vote.

Defensive player of the year.

If this isn't unanimous, it becomes the biggest story.

He honestly, Wemby's probably going to win, assuming health, and we'll see what happens with the 65 game rule.

He's probably going to win 10 Defensive Player of the Year awards.

The gap between him and, say, Chet Holmgren is just, it's so massive.

I call them retreats.

Players who dribble towards the lane and then you're just like, eh.

I'm going to retreat.

I'm going to throw it in reverse.

I've changed my mind.

Victor Weminyama, Defensive Player of the Year.

Cooper Flagg, I'm surprised at how much this one is being debated.

Edgecombe, maybe in a different year, could get a Rookie of the Year vote.

Conn Knipple, in most years, could get a Rookie of the Year vote.

But Cooper Flagg, in basically every year, should get your first place Rookie of the Year vote.

First rookie to lead his team in points, rebounds, assists, and steals since Michael Jordan, and he's 19 years old.

Entered the league nine days older than LeBron James.
