Not really a hot take but I think Wemby wins MVP.
Jokic will have the stats but don’t think Nuggets are getting a top 3 seed unless they have much better injury luck than the last couple of years.
Same with Luka who would have the benefit of LA market pushing his case and he doesn’t have the voter fatigue Jokic/Shai do.
Shai as mentioned will have the voter fatigue hit hard since the voters really don’t want to give 3 in a row especially to someone coming off a short playoff run (see Jokic and Giannis). OKC likely has the team record and he’ll put up similar stats but Wemby takes it.
Giannis is an outside shot but I don’t think Heat have the record either.
Top 5 is something like
- Wemby
- Jokic/Shai
- Jokic/Shai
- Luka
- Giannis

Other than for health concerns, I think you’re right about Wemby. I’m obviously biased, but I think Edwards finishes top 3 in MVP voting.
I will be surprised if Giannis is a real MVP candidate this year. Nobody votes for players from teams that aren’t at least top 4 and that team does not appear to be well constructed.
