All right, guys, let's talk some basketball. So you guys know the drill with my m v P list, Remember, I kind of split it evenly between three criteria. Who's the best player in the league, who's the best player on the best team, and who's the
most valuable to your team? If you want to simplify that, it's just ranking their individual success, ranking your team's success in ranking how much you as an individual are contributing to that team's success. So I have, if the season
ended today, my m v P as Kevin Durant. He's averaging thirty points, seven rebounds, and five assists this season on it astonishing six true shooting, driven in large part by him knocking down the most difficult shot in basketball, the pull up jump shot at a ridiculous fifty cent clip. Easily the most efficient perimeter player season that we've seen since prime Steph Curry. He's also gonna make an All
Defense team. It's the best he's ever been, and he's been the best player that I've seen in the league this year. Then Nets have the best the second best record in the NBA. They're just one and a half games back of the Celtics for first place. They are top ten in both offense and defense, and the Nets are eleven points per one hundred possessions better when Katie is on the floor versus when he's off. They're losing the k D off minutes by three point four points
per one possessions this season. So he is checking all three boxes resoundingly. Now, Katie is hurt, but we gotta look closely at that because he's only missed one game all season, and if he ends up coming back before you know, February one, then in all likelihood he's gonna end up finishing the season around seventies seventy two games played. And if that's the case, time played is not going
to be a factor. So he checks all three boxes resoundingly. Now, the one last point I wanted to hammer home with Kevin Durant is his leadership. You know, like, say what you want about the trade request this summer, and I think that's gonna be something that lingers in a lot of people's minds, and they're gonna have a hard time getting over that. But the reality is is like, as far as trade requests go, it doesn't really get much more professional than what Kevin Durant did. He waited until
the off season. He gave them a clear list of preferred teams. He explained why to the front office and the ownership group, specifically why he was frustrated. I don't like Steve Nash. I don't think he practices I don't think he practices us hard enough. I would like a change of leadership there. He obviously expressed some lack of confidence in Sean Marks, but when the season got started, it turned out that the roster was actually pretty talented
and functional, So Sean Marks is off the hook. But the Steve Nash stuff ended up being a real problem at the start of the season, at least from the standpoint of buying down the roster. So like when when he didn't get what he wanted over the summer when they didn't trade him, what did Katie do? He basically leaked to the press that he was recommitted to the team and that he was gonna be in Net for
the future. So he basically took back his trade request to dem straight a clear commitment to doing the best he could with the Nets within this season. So I don't really necessarily, you know, especially in the modern culture of the NBA where there are all these trade requests,
I don't necessarily knock him for that. Now in the season, this is where his leadership becomes a big factor, because one of the big reasons I believe why Kevin Durant wanted a trade is because he realized the fundamental problems
with the Kyrie partnership. Obviously has the utmost of respect for Kyrie's talent, but he knows that basketball isn't the biggest priority for Kyrie, that his activism is his biggest priority, and Kate Kyrie straight up tried to submarine their season again this year at the beginning of the year with all the anti anti anti Semitism stuff. So you can see why from Kadi's perspective, why he wanted the trade to begin with. But that happened this year anyway, and
that the season was falling apart at the seams. The player that is supposed to be his partner in crime was not worried about basketball and was stuff off the court that was hurting the team. I'm not going to talk about any of the actual subject matter. That's not my job, but whatever you want to think about it, it absolutely was a distraction that was hurting the team and literally took the second best player from the team away because he was suspended. That all happened, All of
it was falling apart around Kevin Durant. And then what happened right after the Kyrie suspension. The Nets were on the road for ten of the next twelve games, and that's a lot of traveling, going to hotels. Even when they came home, they were home for just one game at a time, and then they would go out on another road trip. In a weird way, that was kind of perfect for that team to galvanize themselves around the
camaraderie of the locker room. I credit Kevin Durant for that, specifically his love for the game of basketball and the way that that shined through all the drama and got everybody in that locker room to buy into the one thing that they do better than anything else, which is basketball. They got them focused back on the goal, and all of a sudden, the role started to uh. The wind started to rack up. Then when Kyrie returned, he had no choice but to assimilate into that role and to
buy into the basketball because the team was winning. So in a weird way, Kadie not only galvanized the group and turned the season around, he also put Kyrie in a predicament where he had no choice but to be by Kevin Durant's side and go after this thing with him, And so that that leadership element is a huge underrated
part for me. Now, he would be my number one m VP pick anyway because of the contributions he's made on offense, and I think he has been the best defensive player this season among the five players that made my list, So I would have him up there anyway. But I do think that leadership part is a massively underrated part of his case. Number two Nicola Yoki shooting. I'm not gonna dive too much into numbers because we did a lot of that yesterday for the All NBA stuff.
Kind of an uneven defensive season, he can still have some issues guarding in space or when he's in pick and roll and he has to come higher up to the level of the screen because of a good pull up shooter or something like that. Um On tape. He's been sprinting back in transition a lot better than most slow bigs in the league. But the Nuggets are literally the worst transition defense in the league. According to Cleaning the Glass, the Nuggets give up a one thirty five
point four defensive rating on transition possessions. It's a big part of why they're the twenty third ranked defense overall. So regardless of the individual areas where Yokich has improved, he has not been able to anchor that defense in the way that most of his peers at the center position can do. Guys like Joel Embiad, guys like Bam at a Bio, guys like Draymond Green, guys like Anthony Davis. They're just so so, so so so much better at that than him, and specifically at that position, it can
be a problem. So that's kind of like the one knock on him. But in spite of that, he's been so good offensively that I still think he's the third best basketball player I've seen this year. That have Kadi one, and I'd have stepped two, and then I'd have Yokich at three. Just in terms of what I saw within this regular season, the Nuggets have the same record as Brooklyn.
They're the second best record in the league, one and a half games back of Boston Um and the Nuggets are an astonishing twenty five points per one hundred possessions better when Yokich is on the floor versus when he's off. So once again, he checks all three boxes resoundingly. He's in the conversation for best player in the league. His team has the second best record in the league, and
he's immensely valuable to that team. But I give a slight edge to Kevin Durant, one because of defense and the and the season that Kevin Durant's having on that end of the floor. And secondly, I think the degree of difficulty is still a touch higher for Katie from the talent perspective of what's on the roster. Alright, moving on number three, Luca don che So, he's averaging thirty nine and nine this season, true shooting once again, uneven
defensive season. It's got good possessions here and there, good defensive rebounder, which is obviously vitally important to ending defensive possessions, but he takes a lot of possessions and games off entirely on the defensive end of the flour, really sloppy rotations, conceding three point shots, things along those lines. Again, I
don't blame him. I've talked this to death. The role that he's in requires him to be so available on the offensive end of the floor for that team that they really can't afford to have him exerting himself to a great extent on the defensive end of the floor. But it is the reality, and it is part of the um, you know, total package of how he contributes to winning. He's the fourth best player in the league that I've seen this year. Within this season, behind Katie,
Steph and Yokich. The MAVs are twenty three and nineteen, which is only the ninth best record in the league, but there are only four and a half games back of Denver and Brooklyn, so that's still within reach that they could go on a run. And the MAVs are twenty three and fourteen when Luca has played, because they're oh and four when he hasn't played. Now, that's good and bad because that's an availability thing, like if you
have to take rest, that's obviously a downside. Like a huge part of Katie's MVP cases he just hasn't missed any games, which buys him the margin for error to miss seven or eight games with a knee injury. Right. Uh, well, you know, Uh, Luca has missed four games in the Mavericks have lost all four of those. You gotta factor that in. But the flip side of that is, like, man, when Lucas on the floor, they're twenty three and fourteen.
That's like, you know, top tier, second tier stuff in this league with a really limited roster, and the Mavericks are twelve points per one hundred possessions better when he's on the floor versus when he's off. The Mavericks outscore teams by about six points per one when he's on, and they get outscored by about six points when he's off. Translation, there are a bad team when he's off the floor, and they're a good team when he's on the floor. So a lot of classic m v P markers UM
and Luca is actually the Vegas favorite right now. I just personally value team success more than most voters do. UM, So for me, I have him behind your kitchen k D. But I mean half of these guys, like literally every single one of the top five guys on my list would have won the m v P in two thousand seventeen over Russell Westbrook. They're all having better m VP
campaigns than two thou seventeen Russ. It's just the reality of how deep the league is with talent right now and the fact that we just have a bunch of guy eyes that are playing at an MVP level. I still, even though I haven't met third, I do think Luca has a real chance. Like if he's winning at a twenty three and fourteen clip, when he's on the floor and he can stay available the rest of the season, chances are the Mavericks will move further and further up
the standings. They have a trade to make in the at the deadline they have Christian Would available. There are teams out there looking for size uh. I've seen reports that there. They don't necessarily want to extend Christian Would at the number that he wants, so they might end up trading him at the deadline. Anyway, maybe they can get back some real ball handling the ease up some
of those responsibilities. UM. I do not think that he's out of the running by any stretch, but right now I have him at third alright, number four, Jason Tatum thirty one, eight and four on six Tury shooting good, not great defensive season. I think Kevin Durant's having a better defensive season. It's big part of why he's number one. He's the seventh best player that I've seen this season, behind k D, Steph Yogis, Luca out have Janics at five, Lebron at six, and then Jayson Tatum at seven lines
up pretty well with what I had this summer. Um Like, I think i'd take him at sixth in the league this summer, and he's kind of held up his end of the bargain there. The Celtics have the best record in the league, and the Celtics are five point four points better per one possessions when Tatum is on the court versus when he's off again in any other year,
that's a legit m v P case. But when I'm looking at Luca Yokichen k D, they are better players that are on lesser teams with less talent that the teams are performing nearly as well as the Celtics, and I think those three guys are contributing more to winning when you factor in all the ways that they contribute. It's a tight race. It is what it is. I just think Tatum's four as a result of the competition, but he is playing at a bona fide m v P level number five. I've Janice he's having a really
weird season. Jannice is below from the field in his last thirteen games, which is obviously not very honest, like outside of the restricted area this season, he's shooting just so if he's not laying the ball up or dunking it, he's missing three out of four shots, so that's weird. And then there's some weird on off stuff too, which
we'll get two in a second. But thirty two, twelve and five true shooting, which is still really good, even though it's not very honest, like, still an outstanding defensive player. Like I said, he's the fifth best player I've seen this year, behind Katie Steph Yo Kitchen Luca, and the Bucks are just two and a half games back of first place despite losing Drew Holiday and Chris Middleton for a good portion of this season. The on off numbers
are weird. They are just three point six points positive per one possessions when he's on the floor, but they are minus one point three when he's off, that's only a four point nine point swing, which is the worst out of any player on this list. And when he's on the floor, they're not um beating teams resoundingly by any stretch. But the productions there, the numbers are there, the defense is there, and regardless of what we say
about the on off numbers, the wins are there. There two and a half games back of first place in the league despite having some bad injury luck. It's just it's just some really funky numbers there that I've find very interesting that I'm gonna point out to you guys. Um, the guys ahead of him on this list have the production and have the wins, but they also have those value metrics and things along those lines. So I have
him met five. But if you guys remember four the season I picked you honest to win m v P, and I'm still keeping him as my pick as of right now. I think he's got a great second half run in him. I think eventually the Bucks will get healthy. I don't know if you guys watched that game against the Knicks last night, but what have I been preaching all season long about the Bucks having a perimeter player that can playmake and can knock down shots like spot
up shooting. Joe Ingles was masterful in that second half against the Knicks. They were spamming a dribble handoff with him in Honice, and because of just a basic ability that Ingles has to make reads out of those dribble handoffs because he's a smart player, they were able to get a lot of really good stuff out of it. So with him kind of finding a role there, with Chris Middleton coming back, Drew Holiday hopefully staying healthy for a long time, for a longer stretch, they should go
on a run. You know. Jhannice is gonna play hard every night. Obviously he's not playing very well, which is going to motivate him to play better. I still think he ends up getting the award by the end of the season. So quick instant summation, that's Katie one, Yokich to Luca three, Um Tatum four, and Janice five Alright,
Defensive player of the Year. So uh, most this is one of the most frustrating ones to kind of talk about because the way that people measure defensive Player of the Year I think is flawed in a lot of ways. Most voters really simplified down to defensive rating, like how the team does on the scoreboard defensively, and then advanced metrics like these catch all metrics for the defensive end of the four. Not to be clear, you guys know how I feel about catch all advanced metrics. I throw
them out the window entirely. I'm completely uninterested in them. And the main reason why is because the game of basketball, I believe, is way too convoluted and you know, beautiful and complex to simplify all of the different motions from ten different players into one number. I I just it fundamentally too. It's like blasphemous to me. I'll give you an example, like ESPN is real plus minus for ESPNS defensive Real plus minus has Marcus Morris as a top
ten defender in the NBA. Now, some of the names up there makes some sense, which is what those metrics guys are always pointing out, like, oh, looks you know, vaguely familiar to what we see with our eyes. But at the end of the day, if your metric is telling me that Marcus Morris is a top ten defender in the NBA, then your metric is wrong and it's flawed, and so I threw those entirely out of the window. I just do put put in the work. Guys, look at individuals. I I I trust metrics on a possession
by possession basis. Like if it's like this guy is running a hundred pick and rolls that are leading to a hundred and five points, that's the scoreboard I can direct. Now, there's some factors in there, like how's the spot up shooting, what kind of defenses are they playing? There's some factors there, but at least I'm getting a more ref mind picture of the scoreboard within a specific action. I can learn
something from that, right you know. Look, I love cleaning the glass because of the way they track half court offensive ratings versus transition offensive ratings. Those are two different settings. When the game is helter skelter, it's easier to score than when you're trapped in a half court set. That's a great evaluator from when we get to the postseason and we're looking at teams that are primarily going to trap you in half court sets because of them sprinting
back in transition, communicating and getting matched up right. The I prefer match metrics on a more focused level, I just discount entirely any sort of catch all metrics, So I don't care about your defensive metrics as it pertains to Defensive Player of the Year and then defensive ratings. It's just the scoreboards. So it does have some bearing, But you gotta remember there's four other players on the floor, and a lot of times whether or not your team can get stops has a lot to do with what
the other players on the floor are doing. I'll give you an example last year, even when Anthony Davis was available for half the season, they weren't getting stops at a high rate when he was on the floor because around him, it was an atrocious defensive team. And Anthony Davis was still a flawed player back then, wasn't hitting his jump or any of those kinds of things, but he was still a very good defensive player, and it
just wasn't amounting to stops. So what I'm gonna be doing is looking at all of the film that I've watched this season, and the defensive players that I thought actually contributed to getting stops on a possession by possition possession basis more than their peers. For example, fan Duel has Jaren Jackson, Jr. Brook Lopez, and Nick Claxton as the top three most likely defensive player of the year guys based on odds um and they're all very good.
Jaren Jackson's blocking a ton of shots, although for him he can get a little out of position sometimes. The other thing with Jaren Jacksons he fouls a lot. The other thing with Jaren Jacksons he missed a big chunk of the season to start the year. Uh Brook Lopez, for instance, blocks a ton of shots. Milwaukee has the d defensive ratings. The thing with Brooke is his job is very easy. He runs the deepest drop in the league.
They concede three point shots to whatever his matchup is every single game to allow him to linger by the rim. You know, does not need to cover nearly as much ground as the other defensive anchors in the league. And he's flanked by Janice who can do more of the mobility related stuff. Right. So those two guys didn't make my list, and they are the two favorites in Vegas.
So again, this is this is just the way that I view it, and what I like to do is at least explain to you guys what my reasoning is before I make these picks. Um. Alright, so number one, the guy that I have to win Defensive Player of the Year if the season ended today is Draymond Green. He's by far the best defensive player that I've seen
on tape this year. By the way, that the Golden State Warriors allow just a hundred and eight point nine points per one Hunter possessions when Draymond's on the floor. The Cleveland Cavaliers and totality have the best defense in the league this year, allowing a hundred and nine points per one Hunter possessions. So the Warriors overall have the nineteen ranked defense in the NBA because they can't get stops when Draymond's off the floor. When Draymond's on the floor,
they literally defend better than the Cleveland Cavaliers do. So that's why just looking at a team's defensive rating to me,
is not a fair assessment. Even just within Draymond's defensive rating that one to eight point nine, that doesn't factor in the fact that they're regularly playing lots of small guards, that they're regularly playing a lot of young players that because of Andrew Wiggins missing a huge chunk of the season and their inability in the loss of Gary Payton the second out of Porter Jr. They're very thin on the wing, very thin, and they're getting a lot of
stops with Draymond Green on the floor, and it's because he is a one man wrecking ball on the back line. I I those of you guys who are Warriors fans have been watching the show. I've broken down a half dozen different plays in the last couple of weeks where Draymond Green was in as precarious position as you can possibly be in a basketball game, where of those possessions and in dunks or layups, and he's blown them up
and sent them the other way. There are games that the Warriors won because of Draymond Green blowing up play after play at the end of these games. And he's incredibly versatable, versatile. He could do it in drop coverage. He can do it as a health defender off of a shooter in the corner. I literally showed you guys to play the other day where he blew up a lob pass that Kevil Looney was in the coverage by
flying out of the week's side corner. I think it was in the Detroit Pistons game, if I remember correctly, But he and then and then he can also switch on to any player in the league and competently defend, just like we saw him do with Jaylen Brown in the finals. He's just I think he's the best defensive player that I've seen this year. On film. Vanduel has him as the ninth best odds. Isn't that crazy plus thirty three? And it's because the Warriors are nineteenth overall
in defense. Now. One other thing too, and the reason why I still view him as a decent bedding opportunity is the Warriors are nineteen in defense, but there's not a huge gap between nineteen and ninth. You know, Um, it's only a couple of points per one hunder possessions and you have half the season left. Not only that, there's real urgency for the Warriors. There's urgency because there they have a ground to make up in the standings, and you know, they'd rather have home court, and they
view that as an opportunity. My guess is they look at the two seed as achievable if they have a good run to end the season. You have Steph Curry coming back which means I think he's coming back tonight. We'll have an instant break, an instant reaction video. I told you guys we might not do k uh the net Celtics because Kevin Durant's hurt. Well that's what happens. We're digging Net Celtics. We're gonna do an instant reaction video after tonight's game when Steph Curry makes his return.
But with Steph coming back, that's more baskets, which is gonna give you more opportunity to set your defense. Andrew Wiggins is coming back, uh, Andrea Guadala has made his appearance to start this season, So you're getting deeper on the wing. The urgency is there, your offense is going to be better. All of that leads to what I think should be a defensive run for the Warriors. So I still think he's got a good chance to end up winning the Defensive Player of the Year award. Number two,
I've Miles Turner. It's a similar type of deal to Draymond. The Pacers are eighteenth and defense, so he's not even being factored in vandwel has Miles Turner at a plus eleven thousand to win the award um. But this is where I want to look at personnel, because if you look at defensive ratings, even when Miles Turners on the floor, it's a little underwhelming, But you gotta dig deeper. The top five minutes guys for the pacers. So top five total minutes played for pacers that are not named Miles
Turner are all guards. You know, Aaronie Smith, Andrew Nemhrt, Terris Alibert, and Buddy Yield and Bennick Matherin. That's the guys that are playing around Miles Turner all the time. Six of the top seven our guards because now I've got t J. McConnell and then obviously Jalen Smith is the backup center. So basically, whenever Miles turns on the floor, it's most likely that he's going to be playing around guards. Every once in a while, there'll be o shaper set
out there for a little while. You know, he's six ft seven a little bit more functionally as a wing, but for the most part, he's playing out there with guards. In Indiana has afforded that luxury because of what Miles Turner does as a back line rim protector, flying around, blocking shots, He's fourth in the league in total block shots. He's a great post defender. We've seen him in several key center matchups defend really well this year, and he
can competently switch out to the perimeter. He's never gonna get the credit for it the way that he deserves because of the team defensive ratings, but when you factor in degree of difficulty and what he does cleaning up messes for those small guards, which allows them to have so much ball handling and shooting on the floor that they can just drive and kick teams to death. That's because of Myles Turner, and so I have him as second in my Defensive Player of the Year voting number three,
matching up with vanduel Is, I have Nick Claxton. Him and Kevin Durant are basically by themselves anchoring the ninth best defense in the league just by making extra efforts around the rim with their length and athleticism. This is not a great perimeter defense team. They're allowed to press up on guys. They do a ton of switching, encourage guys to press up into the handle, knowing that if they get beat off the dribble, you've got Kevin Durant
Nick Claxton waiting on the back line. That's a luxury provided by their back line defense. He's been the third best defender that I've seen this season, all right, most improved player Number one, Lori marken In I actually had um on FanDuel shay Gil Just Alexander is the favorite, but I think there's actually a much larger gap between what Laura used to be and what he is now versus shay Um. Lori's averaging points per game, which is
ten more than last year. He's the second best spot up player in the league to run at least a hundred and fifty spot possessions at one point three two points per possession, behind Georgis Kneeing of the Philadelphia SEVENTI. He's having an outrageously good isolated isolation season. He's run fifty four of them and scored seventy one points. That one point three two points per possession is best in the league among the seventy one players who have run
at least fifty ISOs. He is a bona fide franchise cornerstone after being salary filler the previous season. He's the most improved player in the league. L's Alexander. He's taken the leap from lower level star to like mid level star, like right below that superstar tier. He's got the, like I said yesterday, the best combination of pull up jump shooting in downhill scoring that we have in the league. And he is single handedly turning a rebuilding roster into one that is a pain in the ask to beat
on any given night. Yeah, the thunders records not that great, but when you have them on the schedule, if you bring a lax effort, you're going to get beat. Number three, Tyrese Haliburton. He's gone from interesting young guard to a legit offensive engine for an Eastern Conference playoff team, a good one that's out of the play and they're the
sixth seed right now. Uh this The Pacers score one point zero five points per possession in both pick and roll and ISO for Tyrese Haliburton on Matt volume, he's running. He's already run almost eight hundred pick and rolls this year. Bottom line, he's that initial advantage creator. He's the one that creates that first driving kick, whether it's an ISO or pick a roll, to get the team into their driving kick, and then all those other guards capitalize on
that advantage. He's my third and most improved player rookie of the year. Honestly, it was as clear cut as it gets. One to three palos, number one seven four shooting, which is totally respectable for a young player. He's already the sixth best post player in the league, uh to run at least seventy five post ups at one point zero nine points per possession. He's just a man amongst boys as a rookie, which is really unusual in NBA history. Number two and flopping from where we were last time
because Ben simply played better. Ben Mathurton's that number two seventeen points per game on fifty sent tru shooting. He's really thriving in that guard heavy past first offense we were just talking about with the pacers, but he's doing most of his work and transition and in spot up situations, which is gonna be a little bit different than what
we see from Jade and ivy Um. But just in the last couple of weeks, they're really starting to iso him more and the main reason why is he's getting by people off the dribble, which again we talked about this all the time, but dribble penetration is so valuable in the NBA to get teams into rotation. Now right now, he's not making good reads out of it, which is
why the numbers aren't great. Like just in the last few games, he's running a lot of people over for offensive fouls or um missing layups, doing things around the rim because he's not making reads when he gets that dribble penetration. But it's like a legit huge positive that NBA defenders just can't keep Ben Matherin in front, and eventually teams are going to find a way. His team is going to find a way to weaponize that in an on ball roll. As he gets older, his ISOs
are ticking up closer to one point per possession. That's how you can tell. Well, I'm curious to see how that ends when the season's over. Number three j Nivy fifteen points per game on true shooting. Again, completely different role than Ben mathren about. The two most common play types for Ben Mathurin are our spot up situations and transition runouts. The most common play type for Ja and Ivy is picking roll. Ever since Kate Kate Cunningham got hurt,
he's running a ton of pick and rolls. He's wearing like three and fifty of them this year. He's bad at it, like he's not doing a good job. But it's like he's a young guard and almost every young guard is bad at it. So while he's getting thrown into the fire on a bad team, you know, Ben Mathurin's thriving in a driving kick environment. So I want to be clear, Ben mathurn deserves to be second on this list, but I do think Jade and Ivy is
a better player. He's just in a tough situation. So I just want to make sure that we acknowledge that difference. Al Right, guys, that is all I have for today is always I sincerely appreciate your support. We're gonna be back tomorrow going over our contender list, kind of like a power rankings mixed with just putting into tears again like we did before the season. But it's all gonna be in one video, um, and then we'll also have a probably earlier in the day, a instant reaction video
to the Warriors return of Steph Curry. Tonight. All right, guys, I'll see you tomorrow. The volume
