But Giannis Antetokounmpo is so much more than just someone whose name is hard to say. In the meantime, we can try to predict the victors of the six individual awards so here goes.Yes, the West is comparably tougher, but the fact that five teams are in with a realistic chance of winning the East implies that the gulf between the two conferences isn't too deep. There is no three-guard line-up for the Thunder without the pesky defense of Schroder. And with that out of the picture, Giannis is the clear favorite.The fact that performances only till 11th March will be considered for the awards comes as a big boost for Ja Morant.
Additionally, Giannis is also much better at holding fort in case of defensive switches and he sweeps up the Defensive Player of the Year Award for me.Imagine losing the NBA Finals MVP to free agency and then going on to record a higher winning percentage next season.

Coach Billy Donovan was at the heart of this miracle.Another surprise story of the season, the Miami Heat have punched well above their weight with just a solitary superstar in Jimmy Butler.
But between the two, Trezz just edges it out.However, OKC's Dennis Schroder takes the cake overall despite both the German and Harrell averaging around 19 points per game.

However, the fact that the Grizzlies were considered a straight-up lottery team at the beginning of the season suggests that his impact on the franchise has been beyond the numbers.There are mainly two players in consideration for this award in my opinion, namely Giannis Antetokoumpo and Anthony Davis.
