Austin Reaves over his last ten games: 27/5/6 on 53/38/96 shooting, why isn’t he the front runner for M.I.P of the year?

[CHICAGO]

Sketchers Powell’s case>>>>>>Reaves

Nobody thought nikkax would’ve been calling Norm an all star snub this year

Norm Powell and Dyson Daniels should be running away with this. Braun is in 3rd.

Cade was supposed to be this good his coaching and team surrounded by him was trash

Norm Powell probably had it wrapped up before he missed all those games

NORM AVERAGED 18PTS
ON 48/41/83 SPLITS
OVER A 4 SEASON STRETCH
FROM 2020-2023
SO I DONT THINK HE FITS THE CRITERIA
FOR MIP AS MUCH AS SOME OF YOU ALL THINK



​

 

[CHICAGO]

Cade quadrupled the pistons win total .. the second offensive option is Malik Beasley

Coming into the season there was debate if he was even top 50 player .

His play switched the narrative from guys like Scottie Barnes and Lauri Markanen being better to him being an All NBA caliber player .

Draft status from 4 years ago means nothing

HE AVERAGED 23, 8 & 4 LAST YR

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND
THE CONCEPT OF THE AWARD?

Apparently the nikkas that are arguing against it don’t .

Because they’re showing you in real time what it is

YOURE BASICALLY ARGUING
FOR THE MVP VOTES
BUT WANT THE MIP
AS A CONSTELLATION PRIZE

That’s how they’re been moving with it .

If you ask me Cade ain’t the most improved player on his own team..That’s Duren.

But it’s easier for em to do it this way .

LAURI WON IN 23
WHILE UTAH FINISHED 8 GMS
UNDER 500

Lauri's stats improved dramatically from the year prior and Utah was in the Playoff hunt until they started tanking toward the end of the season.

He also was an All-Star that year, like I said, the only way a player like that is winning this award is if they have a double digit scoring increase and make the All-Star team. Other than that, it's not happening.

TYRESE MAXEY WON LAST YEAR.
HE WASN'T A LOTTERY PICK

​

Maxey averaged 20ppg the year prior and was more popular than Lauri.

He wasn't a lottery pick but had already exceeded expectations by year 3. Last year wasn't his coming out party either.

20 T0 26 IS A HUGE JUMP.

17.5 TO 20 ISNT

Cade is the deserved favorite.

A lot of it has to do with narrative, and he's has built his across the season, leading one of the best franchise turnarounds in recent memory. He's also added weight to his case by becoming an All-Star too, which voters seemingly take into account. Whereas Reaves started the season slowly, which set him back in the race with other candidates, unable to keep pace with the competition. He suffers from being in the shadow of Bron too (and recently Luka), where he's not recognized as the face of the team like Cade is of Detroit.

He's a former #1 pick who averaged 23ppg game on pretty much the same shooting splits last year. It's not the most improved team award. It's a complete joke he's the front runner because there's no way to give Detroit a nod for their turnaround.

The position he was drafted is largely irrelevant (both Ja and B.I. have won it in recent years).

He averaged 23 ppg last season and increased that to 26 ppg (top-10 scorer this season), all the while maintaining the same efficiency
He averaged 7 assists last season and increased that to 9 assists
He averaged 4 rebounds last season and increased that to 6 rebounds.

If box score stats are your measurement for the award, then you can't say he doesn't have a valid argument.

The fact that he's anchored Detroit to having one of the biggest turnarounds in modern NBA history only furthers his case. If that's not a representation of improving, what is?

​

Maxey's jump wasn't more significant than Lauri's the year before.

Lauri went from 15 to 26 the year he won MIP

Last year, Coby went from 10 (without rounding up 9.7) to 19.1 the same year Maxey won the award

Who went from 17.5 to 20? That confused me

They say you either die early young

Or live long enough to see yourself turn into a villain…..


with that said the Lakers with their Great whites have now became the 80s Celtics

MAXEY WENT FROM
17.5 TO 20
THE YEAR BEFORE HE WON.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT
YOURE EVEN TRYING
TO ARGUE AT THIS POINT
