Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3510798, member: 1969"] Remember these votes are pre bubble I believe, and the raptors had the second best record in the league so that gets noticed and rewarded in these votes. Stats wise Siakam had a tremendous start for the first 25 games or so and got lots of positive attention. Statswise at the time he surpassed Tatum But as January came around the quality of his game started to really fall and his numbers a bit as well. But the raptors kept winning. Part of it was his very good defence .. but his offence was concerning. When COVID came no doubt he was worse than Tatum. but the voters at season end see the person with the best Overall counting stats on the second best team In the league record wise and who is a good defender, and they vote for him. it was the wrong choice but you can see why it happened. Remember these are not future values. Siakam was about 20th team all starin the playoffs. [/QUOTE]
