Stephen Curry Golden State Warrior point guard is my early MVP. Steph has a had a remarkable first half of the season by averaging 23.7 points per game and also is averaging 8.1 assists per game and also has a fantastic 3Pt field goal percentage at 40.4 and this is all in 47 games and playing 33 minutes per game. Steph has a lead his Warrior squad to 39-9 and this is 2nd in the NBA behind the Atlanta Hawks. Another ribs key to Currys success is with his so called Splash brother Klay Thompson who is another great player who is having a career year also.
Most Improved Player
This award goes to Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls who is having a great year in his 3rd year out of Marquette. Butler is averaging 20.6 points per game and 6.0 Rebounds and has a 46.1 Field goal %. This has all been in 39 minutes per game and 46 games played. Last season he averaged 13.1 points per game and 4.9 rebounds and has his field goal percentage up at nearly 7 points with 39 field goal percentage per game. You can see how much he improved just by looking at these stats.
Rookie of the Year
Andrew Wiggins hasn't been the most consistent this season but Andrew the # 1 pick in last summers draft has been good enough to be this season ROY. Andrew showed that he is talented by showing some games with 25 or more points in 3 different games this season. But this season he has averaged 15.3 points per game and 4.2 rebounds with a .43 field goal percentage. This guy could be a solid player in this league once he starts to become more familiar with the NBA.
Defensive Player of the Year
The team that has one of the most underrated defense in the league because they get overlooked by there offense. This is why I believe that Draymond Green is the DPOY because he a tough nose defender who doesn't let people get angles on him and has been good most of time when there center Andrew Bogut is out he mostly helps out in the low block and is an inforcer down low. He also is very versatile standing at 6 foot 7 who can guard many people on the court. He can guard a guy like Derek Rose who is a point guard or a guy like Kevin Durant who is a forward.
Sixth Man of the Year
This award goes to yet another Warrior who is Marreese Speights. The Forward from Golden State is averaging 12.2 points per game and is also averaging 5.3 rebounds and 47 field goal percentage. This guy is a key component coming off the bench when guys like Draymond Green is off the floor. Standing at 6 foot 10 he adds a physical specimen to Golden State's front court.
Coach of the Year
The Hawks have had much success this season and team is led by coach Mike Budenholtzer. The Hawks have had the best record in the NBA with 42-9. They have had many players that stepped up this season and that will be Atlantas big 3 led by Jeff Teague, Al Horford and Paul Millsap. They have compared this team to the way the San Antonio Spurs play who Budenholzer coach for as An assistant for many years. This is why I believe that coach Mike Budenholzer is the COY.
