With Embiid injured as well have to think it'll be a 3 man race between Harden, Lillard, and Jokic now, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harden has no chance unless everyone else misses significant time. Like LeBron and Embiid would have to have setbacks and miss extra time on top of Jokic, Giannis, Lillard, and Kawhi getting hurt.

And his name has been put in the conversation amongst the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think he's in the conversation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJ Barrett looks like he's finally starting to figure it out. Over his last 9 games he's averaging 21.3 ppg | 5.7 rpg | 2.9 aapg on 52% FG and 48% 3FG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Tom Thibodeau is the perfect coach for a player like Barrett. He was instrumental in Jimmy Butlers development and they have similar skillsets. When the Bulls drafted Butler late in the 1st round he came into the league as a 22 year old rookie and averaged 2.6 ppg on 40% FG and 18% 3FG. In his 4th year under Thibs he averaged 20 ppg on 48% FG and 38% 3FG and eventually became a max contract player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a different kind of athlete than Butler. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's also much further along as a player at the same stage than Butler. I'm not saying they're exactly alike, I'm just saying that Thibs was instrumental in helping Butler grow from end of the bench role player to max contract All-Star. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
