As to the main topic I think Shaedon is among the most likely to win the award because I expect his PPG may jump by 10+ points and that will be hard to overlook. I doubt Poole is averaging 30.
I don’t know about your exact numbers, but point taken that he’s going to have to put up major increases in his stats since he’s already been a pretty good scorer. Since when has not playing much defense kept offensive prodigies from winning postseason awards?
Can Chet win it being a second year player because he didn't play last year? Is this year going to be considered his rookie year?
I think it is most likely to be Bojan Marjanovic. The rumors suggest a shift in his on-court demeanor and a newfound competitive edge. Supposedly, Marjanovic's therapy sessions have helped him tap into a deep well of repressed anger from past experiences, including instances of bullying from Popovich who always called him "pretty boy" and "Nancy". This unleashed aggression will fuel his motivation, pushing him to unleash a more assertive and fierce style of play. Mastering the Digestive Game: Over the offseason, Marjanovic embarked on a soup-based journey to overcome his digestive issues. Through experimentation and the guidance of nutrition experts, he discovered a revolutionary diet that helps him achieve optimal gut health. While the details remain mysterious, it's rumored that his enhanced digestive system provides increased energy, flexibility, and a renewed sense of vitality on the court, but he has been having diarrhea 6-8 times a day. Embracing the "Not-So-Nice" Guy: Known for his friendly demeanor, Marjanovic has been training with Conor Macgregor and volunteering at animal shelters putting dogs down on the weekends in order to shed the nice guy image. He's ready to kick players in the nuts and elbow them in the temples ala Shawn Bradley. He's also been corresponding with Gary Payton about how to talk shit. Supposedly he's got insults locked and loaded for most players he'll match up with this year. The rumor is he's ready to tell Jokic that he wants to put down his horses, and has memorized their names and attributes in anticipation of his next game against the Nuggets.
