While I appreciate the love for Snail Magic, I don't think he deserves Top 3 or even 5 for MVP. He might be our entire offense but also our offense is like the 2nd worst in the CSL. If our offense was even just average, I'd agree that he deserves some MVP love. But we're terrrible offensively despite Smailagic's help
Walker is running away with ROTY but MVP should be interesting this year. My vote probably goes to MPJ.

I could easily be persuaded on any of the top 5 MVP candidates this year. It'll be very interesting indeed. I don't expect Snail Magic to win it, but there's no denying how reliant your team is on him for offense, and he delivers spectacularly. I know sometimes we throw stuff like this around and say " (Insert player) is his team's entire offense", but for Snail Magic it's actually true. Other than Daniel Hamilton (13.0 ppg on a paltry .446 TS%), the next highest scorer is Nassir Little at... 7.1 ppg! That's absurd.TheTwoWallaces wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 3:00 pm While I appreciate the love for Snail Magic, I don't think he deserves Top 3 or even 5 for MVP.

Imho, he at least deserves to be on some ballots.

It's time to test Smailagic for steroids use.

Nice work with this series. I personally have a hard time seeing an MVP from a non-winning team, but maybe it's just me.

Nassir Little is also 2nd on that team in FG% The fact they're in the playoff hunt absolutely deserves some props.GreenBear wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 4:00 pmI could easily be persuaded on any of the top 5 MVP candidates this year.

Great job again guys!! Interesting to hear the different takes.
And agree, the CSL really missed that kind of content! Thanks Doug for bringing it back.

MVP(most valuable player) would be Luka in my eyes. 34-7-6-2 on 44% shooting and 39% from three in 20+ games with the Knicks
If not him, maybe Culver who has been winning in Memphis without their 2nd best player statistically

Yeah, while he's not my top choice, I certainly see the argument for Luka, and I think a majority of GMs will probably agree with you. Culver just missed my list because I thought he didn't play enough games, but that's very subjective. No problem with him getting attention.
