MVP of the season so far?

[Greg521988]

Who do you guys think is the MVP of the season so far? I'm stuck between Curry, Harden and Davis... But I give the edge to Curry because of team record

Re: MVP of the season so far?

So far,

1. Curry
2. Harden
3. Wall, M. Gasol, Lowry

The only reason I would consider Davis an MVP candidate is if he can bring his team to the Playoffs.

Re: MVP of the season so far?

Wall is my #1 candidate.

I would say Curry, but if you look at Golden State, their success seems to be more of a collaborative effort.

I'd say Curry/Harden are right behind Wall.

Re: MVP of the season so far?

I feel like if Harden had a more enjoyable style of play he'd be ahead of Curry easy.

Curry's big point is how much the Warriors offense drops when he's off the floor. Still think Harden has been more impressive. Houston has been really good and that's with Dwight missing a decent chunk of time.

With that said, Gasol is inherently more valuable to his teams success since great big men are a lot more irreplaceable and make a bigger two way impact. The fact Memphis looked so pedestrian without him last year helps his case a lot.

Davis has been the best player in the league, but his team being 10th hurts him. Wall has been great too but I don't see it. Think Washington isn't as impressive as their record shows, though I do think they're very good.

Give me Gasol, then Harden, then Curry, then Davis. Wall a bit behind them with a couple others, but still in the conversation at this point.

Re: MVP of the season so far?

I think it´s kind of weird that no one seems to consider Lebron, his numbers are the same like Hardens.

My top 3

1. Curry
2. Marc Gasol
3. Harden/Lebron

Everytime Curry sits the Warriors numbers are dropping, their whole offense depends on his shooting. He is one of the main reasons they are the best team in the league right now.

Anthony Davis. If he isn't on the Pelicans they are battling for the worst record in the NBA right now. Luke ****ing Babbitt is starting for them right now and they are an above .500 team. He won't win it b/c his team/coach suck, but he's deserving of it.
After that for me it would go in order- Curry, Harden, Wall and then probably LeBron. Cousins would be right there too if he was healthy.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Re: MVP of the season so far?

Personally, I'd go:

1. Harden
2. Gasol
3. Curry
4. LeBron

And that's pretty much all I'm considering at the moment. Russell Westbrook could get into the discussion with more games under his belt too.

I think you a greatly over exaggerating how bad everyone other than Babbitt is

Re: MVP of the season so far?

Here are some dark horse candidates nobody has yet to mention:

Demarcus Cousins - “Boogie” has put up some of the best numbers you can ask a center to put up in today’s game. 23.9 ppg, 12.3 rpg, .514 fg%. The only other ‘big’ putting up better numbers than that is Anthony Davis. Unfortunately, “Boogie” would have to put up astronomical numbers to be considered since his team is not that good, and he’s “Boogie”.

Damian Lillard - Lillard has steadily improved over the years and will continue to flourish under Blazers coach Terry Stotts. Stotts maybe to Lillard as Greg Popovich is to Tony Parker.

Jimmy Butler - Jimmy “G. Buckets”(The ‘G’ stands for ‘Gets’) is probably the obvious favorite for Most Improved Player award. Many noticed his excellent defense when he arrived in the league but no one thought he would be this good of an offensive player. He has a knack for drawing fouls, currently being third in the league in free throw attempts.

Kyle Lowry - Lowry is a huge reason why the Raptors are on top of the Eastern Conference right now. Not only that, they are also the highest scoring team in the East and third in the league in scoring behind the Golden State Warriors and Dallas Mavericks.

Asik has been very disappointing this year for them. Not that good at all. Some rim protection but absolutely 0 offense. Evans has been a mixed bag as well. Holiday is the only other starter that has played well this year. Not to mention how awful their bench is minus Ryan Anderson.

If Cousins never got viral meningitis or whatever he got he'd be right there imo, but him missing 10 games or so hurt him. If he's still putting up those numbers in April with his team in playoff contention he will be right at the top for MVP.

MVP of the season so far?

Idk how high OKC will finish once they finally get back to full speed, but if we are going to talk about guys like Davis and Cousins who won't finish high enough to even be in contention I think we have to include Westbrook..

Dude is only playing 31 minutes a night. His per 36 numbers are 32ppg, 8apg, over 4 boards, over 2 steals, assisting on 50% of his teams field goals, has a sky high PER, and great ORtg and DRtg.

His numbers will drop when KD is back to his usual self, but he has been unreal thus far.

Davis is ridiculous, it's not his fault his teammates are awful.

I was just about to mention AD. This is the first year where I don't career about the record. He is doing things I have never seen.

But I'd like to go with (based on records)

Curry
Harden
Lillard
Lowry

Had to Mention
Wall
Gasol
AD

Re: MVP of the season so far?

Davis for sure, though Steph and Harden are right behind him.
