You could’ve argued Giannis who was probably 4th over Embiid who played like 15% less of the season, but I’m glad he got the nod. Doubt Giannis is fretting about being nominated. It’s a cool honor for Joel even though he won’t win obviously missing like 30% of the season. He was amazing when healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealMcCoy Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Not a big fan of the play in at all, but this would be cool if they could make it happen. I’d watch for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should run away with DPOY, but offense is still what is valued most. Like it or not. Especially in today’s high scoring era. To me it makes what Rudy did as the cornerstone of that D that much more impressive though. I truly hate how much defense is down played though. Like whenever I hear Lillard MVP talks why isn’t his awful defense brought up or Steph Curry’s all time placement why isn’t his defense brought up? I don’t get it.

Rudy's screen setting has a huge impact for us offensively though. John Hollinger had Rudy #2 on his MVP list this year. Conley/Mitchell missed a combined 40 games and we were still able to lock down the best record in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11sanchez11 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 most valuable players this year: tier 1: steph, jokic, giannis tier 2: embiid, jimmy, luka, bron, lillard, gobert, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYRaider Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Rudy was 3rd in the league in real +/- at 6.55 behind only Stephen Curry and LeBron James. He was also 1st in real defensive +/- at 8.00 while Clint Capela was #2 at 4.98. Gobert was also second in the league in real +/- wins at 16.52 behind only Stephen Curry. Mitchell and Conley missed a combined 40 games and we still finished with the best record in the league and were one of the only teams in NBA history to be top 3 in both offensive and defensive efficiency.

So the fringe playoff and middling teams get the #1 pick every year? I get trying to eliminate tanking but talk about keeping bad teams bad much longer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
