With the whole NBA shockingly suspended, we have some time to rank and compare some different players and see which age bracket has the most talent. Anthony Davis, Steph Curry and Joel Embiid recently celebrated birthdays, so let's take an updated look at the best players by age (as of today March 20th, 2020). 19 Years Old Zion Williamson (Born July 6th, 2000) 23.6 pts, 6.8 reb, 2.2 ast, 0.8 stl, 0.5 blk FG 59%, FT 64.5%, 3P 46.2% (0.3 3PM) PER 24.2 One of the only players in the NBA born this century, Zion is easily the best 19 year old in the world. Averaging over 23 pts in under 30 minutes, Zion is scoring the ball at...
Now that every team has played at least 41 games, it's time to go through the Awards Winners and All Star Predictions at the half way point in the Season. Most Valuable Player (MVP) 1. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks) 30 ppg, 12.8 rpg, 5.5 apg, 1.1 spg, 1. bpg FG 55.3%, FT 61.5%, 3P 32.5 % (1.7 3PM), P.E.R 33.47 Freaky. That's all you can really say about Giannis...30 points a game in just 30 minutes. Almost 13 rebounds and 5.5 assists. If somebody could actually challenge the Bucks and push Giannis a bit than his numbers would look closer to 35 ppg and 15 rpg which is his per 36 minute numbers - the amount of time most...
After an unexpected Playoffs and a crazy NBA Free Agency where multiple stars switched teams, who are the current Top 50 players in the NBA? As I will be focusing on the upcoming season, I will not rank rookies like Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and RJ Barrett as it is impossible to predict a ranking for them before seeing them play one game. I will also not rank Kevin Durant or John Wall as they are both expected to miss most if not all of next season both with a Ruptured Achilles, otherwise KD would be seriously considered for the Number 1 spot. However I WILL be ranking Klay Thompson who also suffered a serious Torn ACL because Klay is...
Now that the regular season has finished, it's time to look at my predictions for all the awards and NBA Teams. I will look at the Top 10 candidates in order for the MVP award and the Top 5 candidates for all of the other awards. Most Valuable Player 1. Giannis Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks (60-22) (GP 72) 27.7 Pts, 12.5 Reb, 5.9 Ast, 1.3 Stl, 1.5 Blk 58% FG, 73% FT , 26% 3P (0.7 3PM), PER 30.95 Unstoppable offensively and dominant defensively, the Greek Freak lead the Bucks to the best record in the league and should be rewarded with the MVP. My last blog here went into detail on why Giannis Antetokounmpo should win his 1st...
