MVP: Harden's going to have a really promising "comeback year" after dealing with all of the injuries and setbacks that the Nets dealt with.
Harden averaged 24, 8 rebounds, and 11 assists a game, but he unfortunately had a tough postseason. In the first possession of the Nets vs. Bucks series, he was forced to be taken out due to a hamstring injury which kept him out for most of the series. He returned in Game 6 but wasn't able to make as much of an impact as a healthy Harden was capable of.
Sixth man: Lou Williams because it's what he does best and what he's known for.
Lou Will, Undergound GOAT, as Basketball Reference likes to refer to him as, had underperformed this year during the regular season despite performing much better during the postseason during the Hawks' incredible run. He is getting older, may have to play less minutes than he's used to, he only averaged 11 points this past year, but he is still able to perform and do his job as 6th man because he is the type of player you always want to have on your team.
DPOY: Draymond will easily get DPOY with the defensive assistance of Klay and newly re-signed Iguodala.
Draymond's most well- known for his defense as this is what NBA fans think of when they hear Draymond Green. He is the type of player you will always want on your team. He's incredibly unselfish on the court, he likes to get everyone involved, whether it's hyping up his teammates or literally putting them in position to get in a rhythm, but he also plays impeccable defense. This year, he put up an average of 2 steals and 1 block per game, and that was without the defensive brillinance of Klay Thompson and newly signed Andre Iguodala. As long as those two fresh Warriors manage to stay healthy, Draymond's defense will continue to impress the people.
COTY: Steve Kerr as the Warriors will become a contender once again and will lead the league in offensive and defensive ratings.
EOTY(Executive of the Year): Rafael Stone will win this award as he has flipped a team of two stars who didn't want to play for their team into a team with a majority of young guys with promise, and chips on their shoulders. He performed tremendously for the Rockets during the draft as he selected guys with chemistry and with high ceilings, and he signed a fresh benchwarmer in Daniel Theis, to back up Christian Wood, which will help get much needed rest for Wood after an injury-riddled season. I , for, one am very interested and excited to see how well the completely new and structured Rockets perform this year.
ROTY: Cade Cunningham will win the award as he has the most room in Detroit to rack up the numbers and play his best while out on the floor. His game is very polished, precise, and has a really high ceiling to work with.
