Shai Gilzer Alexander is one of the best players this season. He has strong scoring and defense capabilities at the same time, putting Oklahoma City at the top of the West.
Nikola Jokic is one of the best big men of all time who need no explanation. Absolute ace of Denver with triple double-weight personal data.
In addition, Yanis Antetokounmpo still played an active role in offense and defense this season.
Defenders of the year were Dyson Daniels, Draymond Green and Evan Mobley on the shortlist. Initially, San Antonio Victor Wembanyama was the most likely, but he failed to meet the number of games newly established by the NBA secretariat due to an out-of-season injury.
Stephane Castle, Zacharier Lizachet and Jaylon Wells were selected as the final three candidates for the Rookie of the Year, while Malik Beasley, Ty Jerome and Payton Pritchard were selected for the Six Men.
