    There's a few obvious candidates from the sports bookies

    Sexton
    SGA
    Zion
    KPJ
    MPJ
    Lavine
    JJJ

    Any flyers that we can look back on in 6 months and think how did we miss them?

    How is Sexton a candidate? He averaged 24 ppg last year.

    Zion? SGA? Lavine? Huh? Lol, is this list actually real?

    To be completely honest with you, I wasn't quite sure either. This list wasn't really subjective, more of a copy and paste from a sports betting aggregate site.

    Maybe this is an opportunity for you to place a few sneaky ones on if these candidates are outrageous? :p

    Some dudes off the top of my dome

    Jordan Poole
    Rob Williams
    Miles/Mikal Bridges
    Aichuwa
    Herro
    Lonzo/Lamelo Ball
    Haliburton
    Keldon Johnson
    Pat Williams
    Melton
    Bane

    Overall a lot of 2nd/3rd-year guys come to mind that. I won't name all of them because there are too many, you just never know when some random mf like Avdija or Kira Lewis will bust out in year 2, there's bound to be somebody.

    I do like Dan Gafford as a MIP candidate, but the hard part is can the Wizards win to support his case? If Beal packs it in, game over.

    Ben Simmons Lol, a so called All Star, Rookie of the Year, winning Most Improved Player

    Every Year Ben Simmons can win the MIP if he has a 3 point shot.

    He doesn't really Love and Sacrifice for the Game.
