As you may know, OKC Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook and Houston Rockets point guard James Harden are the top two contenders for this years MVP award. But there are some heavy sleepers for certain awards that aren’t runaways like the previous year. For instance, the debate for Coach Of The Year has been heating up as young, sensational Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and Washington Wizards head coach Scott Brooks are receiving high praises for their effort and performance throughout the season. Many believed that Philadelphia 76ers rookie Joel Embiid had hoop fans “trusting the process” night in and night out and was the run away for Rookie Of The Year. But despite being out of the season, out of no where, Milwaukee Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon has stepped up huge for the Bucks en route to a playoff spot. But only time will tell as fans will circle June 26 to find out who will become winners of these prestigious awards.
