When we lost to Knicks the last time and he had 38 points. IQ is well deserving even though he played a lot of starter games. He started the games exactly because he was the first out of the bench. He is a better defender, statistically than Brogdon, and he has had bigger games (multiple 30+ games). Which makes easier to lean towards him.

because he recently has had some 30 point games as a starter… Also the NY media want some reward for finally being mediocre.

When did Vegas vote on 6MOY?

12 additional games is a big impact, with such similar stats and being probably more important to them means that either winning is honestly fine.

Because narratives rule all

It’ll be bizarre if IQ does win. He recently had a run of solid games as a starter – voters have to be smart enough to realize this…right?
Also, team record supports Brogdon

Its funny how efficiency and ts% matter so much more to nba fans and voters for all awards except 6MOTY

Last month or two because of much better defense and slightly worse offense

Knicks fans/NY media are pushing it cuz he was playing really good late in the second half of the season, it’s just recency bias. Brogdon was balling from the start

During a bunch of games he started in

If the Knicks are mediocre they usually get rewarded by the media.
Anyone remember how Julius randle made an all nba team over a significantly better player in jayson Tatum?

Quickly is getting 6 man award for the games he goes off as a starter.. even with those games brogdons counting stats are better across the board.. it doesnt make sense..

When the NYC media started pushing it probably.
The thing about these awards, i’m wondering, is how much of it is effected by recency bias? If you play like prime Jordan for the firs half of the year and the level out to only a top ten player you’ll lose votes.
Do the voters actually look at a full 82 game sample or just say they do and go off the last 30 games or so of hype?

There averages are basically the same and quickly played more games.

When he started putting up starter numbers as a starter for a New York team that is making the playoffs. Like all NBA awards, it’s more narrative driven than anything and narratives will always favor LA and NY (and to a lesser extent Boston)

I guess steals per game is THE deciding factor. My goodness, it hard to beat someone in almost every single category.

And like 20 fewer starts
