http://www.nba.com/playerfile/andris_biedr...x.html?nav=pageAndris Biedrins just ranked up 6 blocks last night and is leading the league in field goal percentage with players with over 20 shot attempts. He's starting for a while, or so says Nellie and his stats are amazing, considering the lack of mins he got last year.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Rok @ Nov 8 2006, 07:21 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I think Andrew Bynum would be a better candidate for MIP right now over Biedrins.</div>Exactly what I was thinking.
I'm hearing great things on bynum, when I finally flip over to the lakers game today, he gets his third foul and goes to the bench. :ranting:lamar odom is even in candidacy, but he won't win it because he was already a pretty dang good player. my leading candidates right now are zaza pachulia and kevin martin. remember, bynum has improved vastly, but he's still only in his second year, so he probably won't win it.
I dont want to toot my own horn but I picked him to have a breakout season during the offseason. It seems I was the only one to do so. He is a good shot blocker, Decent rebounder, Tremendous upside. Did I mention he is only 20 years old? I hope Don Nelson inserts him into the starting line-up.
He's on my fantasy team :dribble: But I was thinking about this, and Gordon Giricek has a great chance of winning it. There are two main reasons why.-Ronnie Brewer is a rookie, Sloan doesn't play rookies a lot.-AK-47, Boozer, Harpring are all injury prone, Giricek could step up.
He's not scoring enough to be MIP. He only shoots an average of 4 times a game and his minutes aren't high enough...that could change but I'm looking at right now.

His post was completely unrelated to BCB's last post, so that is why I thought it was worthy of that smilie.
If I was to vote anybody for MIP, it would be Bynum, but that is because I have seen him play multiple times this year. Warrick and Martin are both doing great and if Biedrins gets minutes, he could get a couple votes. I dont think he will win it though.
