NBA Rookie Power Rankings: Michael Porter Jr. climbs the rankings to claim the No. 1 spot

Porter Jr. has been given more opportunity in Denver and is making the most of it

Whoa! What happened to Ja Morant?
Here is to add more about this glimpse of potential ROTY for Michael Porter Jr.

https://www.nba.com/rookie-ladder

I am happy for Denver. They have been looking for that secret weapon and it seems to be getting fruitful now.
Gary Harris, Murray and now the rookie Porter Jr. can make a scary trio when Malone decides to put them all in the floor at the same time.
It will be a scary Nuggets. I might bite it if crunchy. Grin

The Nuggets has a pretty good system that's why they give every opponents they have in the playoffs a headache. Though they have the ROY candidate, they still can't make it to the finals this season but I think 4-5 seasons more they can be on top of the standings.

That's too way far mate, hopefully it wouldn't take any longer in order for them to experience being champion once in their lifetime career. However, this season the survey was visibly going under Lakers team. Though it was not yet happening, predictions is nearly 30% impact compared to what reality is.

Its always a risky thing to implement a rookie to your already working system. Denver has been going better and better in the past 5 years and they crowned it last year with going to second round and almost going to conference finals as well thanks to great seeding, they beat Spurs very difficulty on a 7 game series and the Blazers series went to 7 game too if I am not wrong which means they could have beat them as well if things went a bit right. Now to change all of that and putting a rookie in just because he is good is always a difficult decision however Mike Malone is a marvelous development coach who built this young team so I am sure he knows what he is doing this time around with putting Porter in as well.

Actually for me he will not lose anything here.
They might have been trying it in practice before they implemented it.

But what are the points to make it successful.
First and maybe the last, the team already had the best chemistry they could get.

Murray, Jokic, Harris, Millsap and Plumley are in their great year with stronger bond.
Now, adding someone will not be a difficult task anymore. They can do it.

Here are the recent rankings of the current MVP race ladder:

1. Giannis Antetokounmpo
2. Luka Doncic
3. James Harden
4. Anthony Davis
5. Lebron James

All our consistent, all our tough but I do hope injuries will not spoil the fun. Like to see the top 2 making names in the NBA's new generation.

Sure do hope too.
But this guys doesn't have the history of a long term injury so I guess we could see more entertainment from them while running for the MVP race.

Nice to see some unexpected names there like Tacko Fall, Bam Adebayo, Spencer Dinwiddie. I hope one of them will be included.

There's also the half bald, half amazing from Lakers (Alex Caruso) Grin

Oh yeah, why I forgot him. C.A.R.U.S.Ooooo.

He will definitely put up a show.

He is something else when he joins the floor. The team is getting lively specially those who are in the bench.
This guy just excites the whole crowd.
He will suddenly dunk the ball without any defender noticing him. Grin

Harden is not liked by many many viewers because of how he draws fouls out of nothing at all...

Blame the refs for that.

As I said before, as long as Harden sees that as effective he will continue to do that.

First of all definitely didn't think Melo was coming back, not to all-star but to the league as a whole, dude was gone and forced to retire and didn't expected to see him play another minute of NBA but now he is voted to all-star.

He is not forced to retire dude. It's just there is no other team wants to sign him a contract. Melo was just waiting for offers from NBA teams that's why we did not see him play at the start of the NBA season. Anyways, melo still has his game going so give him credit for that and just be happy he was voted to be in part in the NBA all-star this season.

I think Ja takes it this year if he keeps it up. I was hoping the knicks got the 2nd pick in the draft (or first of course) because I wanted them to pick Ja. That (almost) dunk over kevin love was insane. That boy has some skills and bet he is a top 10 player in the league within a year or 2.

New Orleans Pelicans +11 with +475 on the money. Shocked

Their last battle was just a 4 point lead win for the Lakers.

Lakers have been inconsistent lately but I have no doubt they will cover the spread this time with the young Pelicans.

Giannis had his time, this year belongs to Luka. I would have wanted him, Porzingis, and Dirk into the playoffs but the man was more than happy to retire and pass the torch to young Luka.

Lol Giannis had his time. You do know he is young and only scratching the surface of what he can do. Lula is good yes, but to say ginnie had his time like he is going to start declining now is just silly. Let's just say both of them are going to be great players and leave it at that.

He is just saying this is Luka's year. They are both performing great this year and no one can really tell that it is purely Luka's year. I want to see them toe-to-toe. I want to see them be captain this year and have a go at it during the all star.

This all-star voting feels soooo weird, the top of the list is Lebron James, there is Carmelo Anthony and Dwight Howard on the frount court of west, Derrick Rose on the east guards, like almost a 2009 reunion for these guys, never would have imagined most of these names to be still here when it comes to 2020. First of all definitely didn't think Melo was coming back, not to all-star but to the league as a whole, dude was gone and forced to retire and didn't expected to see him play another minute of NBA but now he is voted to all-star (not guaranteed to go in).

Dwight Howard on the other hand was playing and got himself a Lakers contract and that is fine and all but looking at his past 5-6 years I would have said he would have been left out of roster after 10-15 games, he seriously changed his mindset and now a very valuable rotation player.

Derrick Rose had a great 2.5 stretch now and looks like he is good, not what he used to be of course but very good. The only name we all know is great and expected is Lebron but in 2003 if you asked Lebron after 17 years of NBA (not quite 17 but you get it) would he still be voted at the top of all-star he would be shocked as well, that is a llooooong long period of dominating the league.

Luka has now became more popular than Giannis, at least this season

Giannis had his time, this year belongs to Luka. I would have wanted him, Porzingis, and Dirk into the playoffs but the man was more than happy to retire and pass the torch to young Luka.

Luka and Harden are very different characters and very different backgrounds. Harden is not liked by many many viewers because of how he draws fouls out of nothing at all and how he goes to line more than anyone else in the league most of the time, he is literally called "hitler" in r/NBA subreddit for example and really hated, plus he is from USA and only has a USA backing mainly people who just like him which is a niche but he is talented.

Doncic on the other hand is just a very young player who is playing amazingly but still playing at the NBA superstar levels even while he is only 20 years old. He also comes from europe so even tho he has an american community voting for him, there is a large voting for him coming from Europe as well. Remember Yao Ming? Dude was good but he got votes double the other players got just because he was from China, same type of idea.

Wow! He did analyzed it quite well. Thumbs up for that.

Yeah, Luka might really take the season MVP now. Harden might even get the 4th spot now.
There is Giannis and then of course Lebron James who is doing quite well with his stats.
Double doubles or triple doubles, the guy could do it.
But so does Luka.
It might go for the battle of votes. How much percentage does that give?

NBA has released temporary results from the NBA All-Star Voting which has been going on for about a week. Keep in mind that this is only the first round and is not final, so all sequences can change later. So what do you think about the temporary results? Is the player you vote already on the list?

No questions asked for Lebron, Giannis and Luka.Its quite surprising on the top 3 guards votes on East which they are just too near to each other. Cheesy

Luka Doncic has a greater number of votes than Harden and the number is quite significant. it's true that the top 3 guards in the East not too different in the number of votes. but in my opinion, Kyrie Irving will remain in the top 3 on East until the voting ends.

Trae young and Doncic were also rivals for the Rookie of the year award, and now they are leading in voting in their respective conference.
West are composed of experienced and most likely hall of famers players and the East are composed of young and hungry players, this should be fun to watch.

Tray young will likely to return against the Celtics, so it's good to see him healthy again.
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/trae-young-injury-update-hawks-star-ruled-out-vs-bucks-after-suffering-right-ankle-sprain/

I'm so excited man! When compared with West, indeed the results of votes obtained by players from East look quite far away. But there is still plenty of time for about 20 more days until voting closes at the end of January.

Still one day for NBA votes.
Now that the votes count as double Milwaukee has launched a big Greek promotion in order to push the Greeks to keep voting for him in order to make him a captain for a second time in a row. I think that he is going to be on the 1st place again as he totally deserves it.

Well, Luka is different from Westbrook and Harden as both are known as ball hoggers, Luka is not, he is a team player and he does not do stat padding.

Exactly, he is exceptional, if you see him playing, he seems like playing effortless with a good rhythm.

I am not saying Westbrook and Harden are bad, they both won an MVP award so they deserve some respect.
However, I haven't seen this kind of hype from a non american player and it seems like the whole NBA is rooting for Luka now to be the MVP.
He is like the Linsanity but we know Linsanity did not last long, his will stay longer for sure as long as he remains healthy.

Dallas is back on the winning track, and once again we have seen some Luka Magic.
He shoots 5-8 in 3 points, scored a total of 31 points, 13 rebounds, and 7 assists,

That was a good win, they need that to stop their losing streak, and Luka was impressive tonight so team looks great, they fought big in 2nd half for that win.

Quote

how about him being the all star MVP, is it possible also?

it's possible but if Luka will shy out in shooting the ball, he might not.
It also depends on his teammates and the coaching staff, if he will be given more minutes that the chance will increase.

of course it's expected that the west will win.

With his current stats with a well balanced figures for me he's a big competitive for this award, Luka can do things like how Harden and WB did, he's the team playmaker and if he wanted to hog the ball the licensed is all over him.
It will be decided coming from the votes as statistically wise all of those contenders do have the rights to receive the award.

Well, Luka is different from Westbrook and Harden as both are known as ball hoggers, Luka is not, he is a team player and he does not do stat padding.

Kyrie will get his spot knowing him as one of the great guards from this league. He still have his fans and the vote will bring him to his spot.

The voting period still up and it will be decided after the closing period. All star week will be interested if who are going to be on the list of

players to showcase their skills and entertained the fans,.
