    MVP & DMVP:
    I think Wemby should win MVP and DMVP.

    ROY:
    I think Kon Knueppel should win ROY but Flagg did some crazy **** at the end of the season and will win it.

    MIP:
    I want Walker to win but I think Deni will end up winning it.

    6th Man:
    I think Keldon or Jaime will win it. I don’t really have a preference but I thought Sheppard would be a finalist.

    Coach:
    I want JB to win.

    "I would like that to be changed to 'Staff' or 'Organization' [of the Year] for sure ... At the end of the day, I haven't made one basket all year. Our staff hasn't made a basket ... We haven't played a back-to-back, we didn't have to play hurt. We haven't really done ****."
