it will be Pritchard, and he deserves it

as for Deni, his per game last year and this year

points went up from 14.7 to 16.9
rebounds went up from 7.2 to 7.3
assists went up from 3.8 to 3.9...but, turnovers went up from 2.1 to 2.7

his FG% fell from .506 to .476
his 2ptFG% fell from .560 to .552
his 3ptFG% fell from .374 to .365
his TS% climbed from .597 to .605

I'm not seeing enough improvement to warrant a MIP award. He got better, but it was more incremental than major

It was major from beginning of season to end of season. Award doesn’t have to be from last year to this year.

lol...are you trying to lead S2 in nonsense?

if it based upon cherry-picked games over a third of a season, Josh Giddey would get it over Avdija. He's had 5 triple-doubles in the last month and has led the Bulls to a 13-5 record over the last 18 games

Pritchard, Giddey, Dyson Daniels, Cade Cunnigham, Austin Reaves, Christian Braun, Ivica Zubac all deserve it more than Deni, IMO. In fact, when I look at that list it probably won't be Pritchard

MIP from mid season until the end of the season... sure. MIP overall... nah. Also shouldn't impacting winning kind of be factored in? That's not me asking for different numbers from you, it's just saying that Pritchard's impact on winning increasing in the way it has should bolster his improved individual stats.
 
Any interest in Orlando Robinson? He was just released by Toronto.

Pritchard should win 6th man IMO.

Malone not only resented that Booth didn’t retain those players in free agency, but also wondered whether Booth did so as a way to force him to play the younger players he had drafted, multiple sources said. “They just saw the world completely differently,” another team source said. That tension manifested everywhere. “The situation was just unsustainable,” a team source said. “Coach Malone and Calvin couldn’t fix it because they made the situation all about themselves.” Players even questioned whether their playing time was affected by the dysfunction between Malone and Booth, multiple team sources said. “If you’re one of Calvin’s guys, Malone doesn’t want to play you,” a team source said, flatly. Over time, players tuned out Malone, from the top of the roster down, multiple team sources said.

When Malone was reluctant to play Nnaji at power forward, where analytics show he was resoundingly better than as a backup center, more than one staffer wondered whether there was an agenda behind it.

"The numbers are way better [with Nnaji] as a 4 than a 5," one team source said. "But if you play him as a 5, he gets exposed. Who does that make look bad?"

sounds like a real mess. Denver fired both of them, correct?
 
There are 19 minutes left in this game. He’ll do it if they let him. It’s a blowout.
