Jaylen should have been on MIP list IMO.  But not sure in place of whom. Bam?

Should Smart been on the list of DPY? In place of AD, whose defense was over-rated this year?

The "disrespect" may further motivate both of them come play off time. Not that they need any additional motivation.

For what? He's not eligible for sixth man of the year. Started too many games.

Ah.  Then only for DPOY.  Guard defense gets disrespected.

I was surprised that Marcus has started 40 games.  That kind of snuck up on me.  That’s more evidence of what a great 6th man he really is; he can step in for multiple positions.

Agree absolutely, plus Smart is really more than just a guard defensively. He defends everybody.

Surprisingly he started 40/58 this year due to all the injuries.
