1. Kevin Durant -32.2ppg, 7.6rpg, 5.6apg, 50%FG, 87%FT, 40% 3pt FG -What can I say? It’s his season. Westbrook goes down, and Durant goes off. He is impossible to defend, and he just keeps refining his game. He has to be the MVP this season. 2. Lebron James -27ppg, 6.9rpg, 6.4apg, 57%FG, 38% 3pt FG -Another great season from Lebron, but it does seem like him and his teammates are feeling the lag of 3 deep playoff runs the last 3 years. If the Heat under perform in the playoffs the blame falls squarely on Lebron. Deservedly, or not, that is the way it will always be.
3. Carmelo Anthony -28.2ppg, 8.2rpg, 45%FG, 84% FT, 41% 3 pt FG -Deadly efficient scorer, who just happened to be the only Knick wanting to win this season. The Knicks are more than a few seasons away from contending, and I hope Melo doesn’t fall for the Phil Jackson signing.
4. Paul George -21.9ppg, 6.6rpg, 43%FG, 87%FT, 36% 3 pt FG -Not exactly the monster, break-out season many “experts” predicted, but George remains the best player on the best team in the Eastern Conference this season. At 23 years old, George will only improve the next 3 years before he hits his prime years.
5. Rudy Gay -20ppg, 6.1rpg, 2.9apg, 45%FG, 82%FT -This guy’s career has been strange. He was traded from Memphis just as the Grizzlies began to turn their franchise around. He was then traded again by the Raptors because Demar Derozan and Rudy basically do the same things on the court. Hopefully, he can be part of a worthwhile team in his career. He has a lot of talent.
