Thunder wins two consecutive championships! Jokic wins 4th MVP! NBA general manager predicts major awards for the new season, which one is the most reliable?

As the general manager of a team, I believe they will have different perspectives and insights into the trends of other teams and the performance of their players. For this reason, NBA officials specially found these GMs and asked them to predict and analyze various awards for the new season. This survey involves a total of 49 questions. Let us interpret the topics that are very critical and of most interest to everyone.

Champion: Thunder

Support rate: 80%

In just a few years, the Thunder used their excellent trading and draft vision to build a young and strong team, and successfully won the championship last season. During this offseason, the team did not make many personnel changes, which ensured the stability of the team. So in the predictions about the championship, the Thunder received an 80% support rate.

Followed by the Cavaliers and Nuggets, both teams received 7% support. In the Eastern Conference of the new season, the Cavaliers definitely have the strength to compete in the finals. After all, the Celtics and Pacers have lost their top stars, and other teams cannot pose a big enough threat to the Cavaliers in the paint. The Nuggets have successfully completed reinforcements in the offseason. As long as Murray does not become a hindrance, the Nuggets are enough to compete with the Thunder.

MVP: Jokic

Approval rate: 67%

In today's league, Jokic's strength is the one that dominates the world. As long as he is willing, averaging a triple-double per game is definitely not a problem. For this player who has won three MVPs, what he is pursuing now is not personal honors, but finding ways to lead the team to victory.

The second place is Doncic of the Lakers, with an approval rate of 10%. This summer, Doncic successfully completed weight loss and dominated the European Championships. In addition, James will be absent for a period of time in the new season, so Doncic has plenty of time to lead the team independently. There has never been any concern about his data performance. His biggest obstacle in competing for MVP is that the Lakers' current lineup may not be able to get a good regular season record.

Other player support rates: SGA—8%; Wenbanyama—7%

Best player at each position

Point guard: Alexander (73%)

Last season, Alexander was undoubtedly the biggest winner in the league. He won the MVP, FMVP and championship, becoming the leader of this age group. After the arrival of the new season, he will still be the best defender in the league. As long as there are no injury problems, there is absolutely no doubt about his ability.

Shooting guard: Edwards (70%)

Despite the constant changes in the lineup, he can still lead the team to the conference finals for two consecutive years. Edwards' team leadership ability has been best reflected. At every critical moment, he can always use his personal scoring performance to successfully help the team seize the situation. In last season's Western Conference finals, if the referee did not play a key role, Edwards would definitely be able to lead the team to the finals.

Small forward: Doncic (40%)

After completing the weight loss, Doncic has used the European Championship to prove his excellent scoring ability. After the arrival of the new season, I believe the Lakers will favor him more tactically. With the team's overall strength being poor, Doncic naturally needs to fully carry the offensive banner on his shoulders.

Power forward: Giannis Antetokounmpo (93%)

There is no suspense at this position. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who continues to evolve, is the answer to the forwards in today's league. It's just that the Bucks' lineup still seems too fragile in the new season, and his hopes of chasing the championship may be frustrated again.

Center: Jokic (97%)

Like the power forward, Jokic is undoubtedly the number one player in the world at the center position. In every game, as long as he is willing, getting the data is as easy as drinking water.

Rookie of the Year: Flagg

Approval rate: 97%

After several years of waiting, the NBA finally ushered in another white number one pick. It can be said that everyone from the NBA to all media opened the door to Flagg. They spared no effort in publicity and resources, and even allowed him to train with the Dream Team.

Known as the "Son of America", he will definitely be a player that the Mavericks will do their best to cultivate in the new season. With the help of the two top picks, Big Eyebrow and Irving, I believe it will not be a problem for him to win the Rookie of the Year.

DPOY: Wenban Yama

Approval rate: 80%

In his rookie season, Wenban showed a terrifying defensive performance and frequently staged "hot pot feasts." In the end, he won the block title and was selected to the All-Defensive Team, creating a new history.

After a season full of injuries, Wenban has started a new journey. In order to better prepare for the new season, he chose to give up playing for France in the European Championships. Judging from the performance in the current preseason games, Wenban's defense is still impeccable.

Best coach: Spoelstra

Approval rate: 52%

In the entire NBA, the Heat are probably the only ones who build a team around a coach. Si Bo has always made delicious dishes according to the dishes. Even if he is given a cabbage gang, he can still make a state banquet-level dish.

Especially in recent years, the Heat have always been able to select players from low picks or even undrafted players for training. Under Spoelstra's guidance, they can always grow rapidly. Being able to lead a not-so-strong team to the finals twice shows Spo's unique ability..

Other issues:

The best adjustment in the offseason: Hawks (53%)

The signings that changed the pattern in the offseason: Durant (73%)

The most underestimated Signings: Bane (17%)

Most improved player: Magic (47%)

Rookie with the most growth: Flagg (93%)

Best international player: Jokic (93%)
