I think this might be unanimous right now, but you can add:

ROY: Drummond
Comeback player of the year: Melo

I know I'm in the minority, but Jeremy Lamb just doesn't move the needle for me. I think Kevin Jones is the POY.

I don't like Lamb as POY either but I couldn't think of anyone to replace him. But I like KJ, good call.

Agree that Jones' numbers are better, but his team is 10-4, and team performance usually plays a major role in these things. (Not that there's such a thing as mid-season awards)

Oh, it's a little more than that actually. I didn't even consider their numbers. I just don't think Lamb is as good as advertised.

Agree that this looks good to me.

But melo over dion for come back player of the yr?

I guess it should be "most improved". But yes I think Melo would get the nod. Usually players who win that award overcome some sort of adversity (ex. injury, suspension, weight issue, etc.)

Heck just give it to them both. Agree though Melo is most improved only because he was soooo raw last year.

 

[MyMeloMyMan]

No Triche?? I heard he was our best player.

 

[arbitragegls]

Really, really...disagree and I saw Pope..at least on TV...and Melo ate his lunch...he was a non performer...as far as Waiters, our 6th man, as good as we may think he is...no way is he first team...I believe that most of these first teamers are not there when the season ends...unfortunately, KJ isnt a first teamer yet either...and fact you left off both Scoop and Triche...the starting back court for the #1 team in the country...well forget about it...

Happy Holiday and new year everybody...let the debate continue
