The author's official ballot for the NBA's end-of-season awards includes picks including Gilgeous-Alexander, Wembanyama, and Luka Doncic for the MVP. This ballot assumes that Luka doncic, who has played in 64 games but falls short of the league threshold of 64 games, will be eligible for the award despite missing a few crucial games due to a health issue. This year's rankings also included a strong selection for Most Improved Player, Most Valuable Player, and Most Dangerous Player. If the league does not grant LukaDoncic eligibility, Jaylen Brown and Kawhi Leonard will be moved up to fifth and seventh respectively. The author also notes that Andre Knueppel had the most efficient rookie season in NBA history, played in 10 more games and nearly 200 more minutes than any other player, and his play lifted his team to the postseason.
