No Pekovic in the poll? I'd vote him if he were in the poll.

No mentioning of James Harden? Guy improved by almost 4 ppg compared to last season and shoots a lot better from the field.
Cousins, Speights or Avery hasn't quite shown something relevant to get M.I.P. honours. But Monroe's game has had a huge translation and he gets my vote.

And yes, Pekovic should have been included, but I have watched him since his early days in Europe and he has just been the chance to play, that's not an improvement as a player. He was always this skilled, to be honest.

Turner is my early candidate for the next season, I note down. Some consistency and that guy is going to be one tough player to contain.

I'd rather have Stiemsma in the poll than Bradley. Avery just got playing time, and pretty much everyone expected him to hit shots and cut in, I mean quickness and speed is why we drafted him. Stiemsma's progress is incredible imho.

I'm not sure he's outplaying Biyombo and Vucevic.

This is done by sportswriters so Lin probably doesn't have much chance.

I expect Faried to make the first team and Biyombo the second one.
Never mind. This awards have been a joke in general, so, it doesn't matter if his performance lands him something or not.
Unless it's Larry O'Brien Trophy, of course :)

The TrueHoop bloggers voted on this award.

1. Nikola Pekovic, 136 (18-13-7)
2. Ersan Ilyasova, 77 (9-8-8)
3. Jeremy Lin, 55 (4-9-8)


Others receiving votes: Ryan Anderson, 48 (7-3-4); DeMarcus Cousins, 33 (3-4-6); James Harden, 17 (1-3-3); Danny Green, 7 (0-2-1); Roy Hibbert, 5 (0-1-2); Greg Monroe, 5 (1-0-0); Goran Dragic, 2 (0-0-2); Brandan Wright, 1 (0-0-1); Randy Foye, 1 (0-0-1).

You'll note that Avery Bradley is apparently nowhere in the conversation, but the voters didn't ignore him because he made their second team All-Defensive.

There was an interesting article I read on my phone how everyone expects Lin to get it, but he only played 37 (aprx) this year, 24 of those were starts, and atleast 5 of the other games were for 7 mins or less.

Id go with Monroe, Anderson and the Peka to be up there.
