Local media in the U.S. have entered into specific predictions. CBS Sports in the U.S. mobilized eight experts to predict major winners.
The most interesting category is MVP.
Shai Gilzer Alexander (Oklahoma City) won the award last season. Denver Nuggets Nikola Jokic was a strong contender, but he couldn't overcome the barriers of the story of team performance and Gilzer Alexander's first career award.
However, things have changed this time.
As many as five of the eight experts predicted Jokichi's win. There was only one expert who chose Gilzer Alexander. There was also one expert who chose Anthony Edwards (Minnesota) and Luka Doncic (LA Lakers).
One expert said 'Yokichi is the best basketball player in the world at this point. It is overwhelming in personal data. In addition, the Denver Nuggets have strengthened their power compared to last season. Jokichi is the strongest candidate for MVP.
There was also no disagreement in defense. Victor Wembanyama was selected by seven out of eight. One exceptional vote went to Houston Rockets rookie Amen Thompson.
Wembanyama's defense is the best in the league. Wembanyama, who is tall at 2m23 and has compliance with mobility, has the highest level of vertical defense ability ever. In addition, it produces block shots on the outskirts. He was also a strong candidate for the defensive award last season, but he failed to fill the number of players due to injuries.
