Him and Ingram are my 2 personal favorite young guys to watch offensively right now. As you mentioned with Tatum, it isn't just what he's doing....it's who he's doing it against. Can do it at every level and just completely unstoppable when they want to get to the hoop. Hard to believe they're still just both 21 and 22 respectively when you watch them.
Good point of reference between Tatum and Ingram tonight. Pellies get the Lakers. I will be there. I agree both have been great to watch improve and become so complete at both ends. I think Tatum's handles separate him some, and Zion is deducting from Ingram's stat line, which if great. NO will be a tough out in the playoffs if they get there and the very deep assortment of perimeter players are on their games. I love watching them.
Bucks v Wizards last night was pretty fun. Raps are sure bringing it tonight. Even if the bucks lose the SEGABABA they need these kind of games. Their intensity can be lacking but every team is going to bring it. It can only help in the long run
Strong year for the award. I'd put Bam and Luka up there too.
Trae Young should be in that conversation as well in my opinion.Strong year for the award. I'd put Bam and Luka up there too.
Luka will probably get "penalized" for being so good as a rookie but most don't realize the guy is almost averaging a triple double this year. And still 20 years old
he was a ball stopper in the offense and did not like milwaukee i know you are joking but seriously i was not to sad to see him go even though i liked him and wish him well take that to the bankBut they shouldn't have let Brogdan go!1!!11JUAN!!!
3 solid wins this week but still gotta perform in the playoffs. Not only IMO but for any national relevance.
siakam could honestly be in the convo again. Increased usage by 40%, doubled 3PA per game at the same shooting %, and his TS% would be the same if not for what looks like some weird luck on 2 pointers that should progress back to the mean.Strong year for the award. I'd put Bam and Luka up there too.

ok, i am open to the idea that you may possibly be correct:
I had Sixers +10.5 in live betting tonight, and these mother F'ers can't even cover that
really have to think it goes to Bam. I am not sure how the award has gone the past 10-20 years, but Bam really seems to be that guy who came out of nowhere and has been consistently good. Luka has been amazing, but i think just like you said he won't get it because it isn't as big of a jump as Bam has had. Brandon Ingram should be in the conversation too, but i don't think he has been as consistent as BamCraig_MiamiFL said:Strong year for the award. I'd put Bam and Luka up there too.

Graham and Bertans aren't bad, but they seem to be products of terrible teams and being able to score a bunch because of a lack of talent on the rest of the roster. Bam has to battle for stats with Butler and a host of 2nd/3rd tier guys for stats, and he just seems to be the most consistent of the out of nowhere guys.

With Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid both out, Al Horford (4-10), Tobias Harris (3-12) and Josh Richardson (4-12) have combined for just 28 points on 11-34 shooting against the league's 2nd worst defense. That's not going to get it done.
Burn this mother F'er down and sell the team please. thing is a dumpster fire and they should consider getting rid of Brown before the end of the season if they have more like this. Also give a kick to the nuts to Silver and the NBA for their courage to stop the atrocity of Sam Hinkie, and leave the Sixers with "Eric Jr." and to eventually have to scramble and make Brand GM.
Insane thinking of the position the Sixers were in before Colangelo until now.
wow, when did draft kings get so thorough with all of their betting selections? DPOY seems just dumb with AD being a -250 favorite, but that does seem to be more of a popularity contest than anything. He is 3rd in the league in blocks and 18th for rebounds. those def rebounds are close to 4 rebounds a game difference than #4 Giannis. It is pretty nice seeing Thybulle getting some love even being mentioned, but having Ben Simmons not top 5 in betting favorites seems strange since he has led for most of the season in steals.
Kobe has sumn to do with it. Tatum adored Kobe - it was he whose tutelage Jayson sought when everyone was predicting the world for him after his rookie year and he took whatever lessons he got so much to heart that the hesitancy of asking WWKD? at most moments on the floor hurt his flow all season. Dont think this surge is a coincidence. You're doing your mentor proud, kid
the Luka price seems way too low just from the standpoint that I think that the voters tend to give it to guys who were not very good and bring themselves to pretty good, much more so than players who were already highly regarded and get to an elite level.
The Celts are one of the few teams with enough scheme to turn Eric Bledsoe into a series-ruining chukker, the key to beating the Bucks. If the immortal Semi Ojeleye can get away with his act on Anteaternintendo one more time....
and here i thought we were brohanthers from other mohanthers that hurts brohan that hurts bad take that to the bank
they got this guy divincenzeroni who is pretty good at the old bball this year so bledsoe is not the be all end all any more take that to the bank bromigo
Well, here's the part that connects us, my broladdy from another daddy....I'll be rooting for your Bucks against 14 other teams, so if they take Boston out (or Boston goes out beforehand) I'll be wearing my antlers, dousing myself with deer piss and howling for Antekomptol-bro as loud as I can and you put that in your peace pipe.
We'll see if they get their d right. They should be so good but they fall behind by double digits game after game. Every time I watch for a few weeks I feel like something is wrong. We still haven't seen a lot of the Kahwi/George combo in tough situations, but I feel like they'll fall short.
gotta see how they play together - somebody's always out whenever i watch em. teams that dont know what everybody's doin' dont win, but the Lakers suck & Nugs dont have any champs
I like the Clips chances better than the Lakers. I don't think the Lakers are deep at all, not in a reliable way. Kuzma has been a real let down this year. Still feels to me like you can take your chances doubling off of anyone but LeBron and Davis and you'll probably be o.k. in the long run.
