MVP: Luka Doncic. Luka is getting a full year in Los Angles. He is now used to the system, and with LeBron getting older his management will be down. Luka will be played a lot, and he will have amazing counting stats. This team also has the potential to be a top three ceed. This is finally his year.
Rookie of the Year: Cooper Flagg. It's a no brainer, especially with Kyrie being out this will allow Flagg to have a higher usage rate. Him and Davis will be playing beside each other and this allows him to not have to be that scoring force; giving him better efficiency. With Dylan and Ace both most likely going to contenders early on in their career, I believe they won't have the counting stats to steal this award.
Sixth Man: Malik Beasly. He had a amazing year with Detroit and will most likely resign with them he lead all bench players with most threes all season. Had a amazing comeback story from being a player nobody looked at seriously in free agency to now a player most teams can use. Detroit has a great leader to elevate his game.
**Defensive Player of the Year: Amen Thompson. He can guard all positions, best shot blocker guard the league has seen in a while. Hustles every play, grabs tons of rebounds. Has it all for this award. Houston will be one of the best defenses in the league as they already was.
Most Improved: Scoot Henderson. With the Blazers shopping Simmons I love Scoot getting the opportunity to play a lot. He has great young talent on his team that can help boost his game. Can easily see him putting up 16-8.
