Good for him. He was kind of a dark horse candidate from all the ballots I saw. Dyson Daniels and Zubac were #1 and #2 on the half dozen I saw, maybe in reverse order though. Mobley seemed to be the consensus #3.

Interestingly though when I found the final tally, it appears Zubac only received 8 votes placing him #1 or #2. Mobley was often passed over for DPOY but was a favorite for Most Improved. I'd imagine he'd prefer DPOY though.

Dort being on that list pisses me off! LOL! He played in our back yard and was undrafted! We should have signed this dude! Who are the Suns scouts. I was driving a lot at that time and listened to ASU games on the radio, and Dort was always pulling off heroics for ASU. I was surprised we didn't sign him.

Interestingly with the Teammate of the Year award, Jrue Holiday was a 3 time winner and had won it back to back years prior to being dealt out of Milwaukee. They really fumbled that move.


Congrats to Steph though. He's one of those rare stars without any controversy surrounding him, for the most part.

I thought there was some stuff about him and his wife? Some business deals and also their lifestyle in the bedroom.

I've heard rumblings in regards to him and his wife but that's something I didn't look into or care about. That was kind of the "for the most part" portion of my comment. They're still together and seemingly happy so who am I to judge?

Lots of talk about Giannis being on the move this summer. Hopefully he's not. His availability will hurt the price for KD.
