Payton Pritchard will win 6th Man of the Year (and other NBA Reacts predictions)

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of followers throughout the NBA. All year long we ask questions of probably the most plugged-in Boston Celtics followers and followers throughout the nation. Join right here to take part within the weekly emailed surveys. Outcomes courtesy of FanDuel.

Followers have been polled on the NBA Awards and you’ll find the outcomes beneath (together with my completely neutral, unbiased opinions).

Shai leads the league in factors and is the driving pressure behind the Thunder competing for the league’s greatest document. Jokic is, nicely, Jokic. And a few would argue that he deserves the MVP once more, however Shai is the brand new, shiny object of individuals’s affection so he’ll in all probability find yourself getting it.

I believe Tatum is correctly slotted at #3 despite the fact that I believe a few of what he does is undervalued (protection, playmaking, usually letting different gamers prepare dinner when that results in successful). He in all probability would have had a stronger case if the Celtics have been main the East.

I suppose he’ll simply should set his sights on the Finals MVP, if he can beat out his teammate for it this time.

The long run is shiny in San Antonio, despite the fact that Wemby’s blood-clot difficulty is horrifying.

This ballot was carried out earlier than information broke about Wemby’s situation. Now he gained’t hit the minimal video games threshold, so I might think about this award goes to JJJ.

Luke Kornet was robbed.

Amen has had an awesome season and looks like an inexpensive contender for this award. That mentioned, I believe this has been Payton’s award because the first week of the season. Give that man his {hardware}.
