Way Too Early NBA Awards

Here it is, my way too early NBA awards! Who will be the coach of the year? MVP? Rookie of the year? Most improved? Coach of the Year? Lets find out:

MVP

The MVP for this season really depends on team success. I'm giving the award this year to Anthony Davis of the New Orleans Pelicans. 

Right now he is putting up absurd numbers, 25/13 with 4(!) blocks a game. If he can keep that up, heck, even if his numbers go down a little, those are still absurd numbers. Although if we see the rockets hold on to a number one, two, or three seed in the west you might see James Harden getting the MVP award. 

Rookie of the Year

This years top rookie is going to be Jabari Parker of the Milwaukee Bucks. 

He leads all rookies in points and rebounds with 11/6 a game. He is the most polished of the rookies, although many would doubt if he had the best career of all the rookies. A scorer, I expect Jabari to finish the year averaging 16 points and 6 boards a game. 

Most Improved Player

The most improved player in the league this year could be Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls. 

Averaging almost 20 points a game and still playing his typical stout defense, Jimmy Butler is on the way to a big pay day next year. Averaging over 10 points better than his career average right now, I don't expect him to keep all this scoring up, especially if Derrick Rose can stay healthy. However, He is doing exceptionally well right now, and I expect him to end the year putting up around 16 points a game with 4 rebounds and assists to go with it. 

Coach of the Year

I expect the coach of the year to be Newcomer David Blatt of the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

While it might be criminal to bet against Greg Popovich, if the Cleveland Cavaliers win 55+ games which i expect them to do, David Blatt will be the coach of the year. There is a lot of hype surrounding the European "genius" which helps his case as Coach of the Year.
