Jalen's almost a lock to take the WC Player of the Month award for March. Amen might be a favorite to take the WC Rookie of the Month award for March. If Udoka doesn't get the WC Coach of the Month award for March, they need a recount.
He did shoot up on the rookie rankings, so I'd imagine that may have some influence. His stats may not be the same as Wemby's but he has some impressive stats during this Rockets month. Hopefully the voters give him the nod.
I'd like to see the voters reward a player who is contributing to his team winning games ..... The Rockets & Thunder both have more wins than Wemby & Miller combined. If you ask me, Chet is the guy who really deserves that ROY trophy - He's elevated that team from just under .500 last year (40 wins) to being half a game out of the 1 seed with 10 games to go. Wemby & his 17 win Spurs can't compete with that and the stats are empty on a team that isn't trying to win. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see Amen win this week / month. Just that Chet is deserving of the overall award. Flips the bird at Wemby
100% agreed. Is not as if Wemby's stat are freaking out of this world either. Chet has similar stats.
Rockets Ime Udoka Named Western Conference Coach of the Month One down, two to go. https://www.nba.com/rockets/news/rockets-ime-udoka-named-western-conference-coach-of-the-month
I think the Dallas game really killed Jalen's case. Pumped up Luka's averages and hurt Green's. If it had been reversed, like Luka had a bad game and Jalen dropped another 40 bomb, I think he wins it.
For sure, if Doncic played poorly and Jalen Green dominated like he did in this winstreak and got us the W he definitely wouldve have it over Doncic! Happy for Ime but wouldve loved it for Jalen
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic and New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson have been named the Kia NBA Players of the Month for March. Western Conference: Doncic led the Mavs to an 11-4 record in March while averaging a 30-point triple-double (32.5 ppg, 10.1 rpg, 10.1 apg). https://www.nba.com/news/monthly-nba-awards-march-2024
They robbed Jalen of the award, but that's no surprise considering how everyone is obsessed with triple doubles.
Udoker won it, it is a consolation. Luka is the better player but yeah it is honestly a toss up......
