Congratulations to the Rockets! The new season MVP forecast is that 54 million superstars enter the top 5, and only one person in Houston is on the list

Theoretically, after the Rockets got Kevin Durant, their offensive end had no shortcomings. With the players such as Shin Kyung, forward Smith Jr., Amen Thompson, etc., the Rockets' offense next season should be much stronger than last season. Moreover, if Van Vreet can play his 18-point average and more than 40% of the three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs last season, he can become the Rockets' third scoring point after Durant and Shin Kyung.

Of course, if Van Vreett keeps playing in the regular season and mainly relies on organizational offense to gain a foothold, then other young players can also stand up, such as the Rockets' young shooter Shepard. In short, Durant's arrival directly changed the overall strength and temperament of the Rockets, and they truly had a superstar. You know, the Rockets' last superstar James Harden left the team five years ago. After that, the Rockets did not even have an All-Star player joined, and they had to train All-Star center Shin Kyung.

Now, Durant, with an annual salary of 54 million, is obviously the best player and the most influential superstar of the Rockets. Next season, the Rockets can make further improvements based on the second place in the Western Conference last season, such as competing with the Thunder for the first place in the Western Conference. Of course, the Rockets also have the challenges of first-class teams such as the Nuggets, Lakers, and Clippers. However, judging from the performance of the Rockets last season and the reinforcement movements this summer, they can compete with any team. The overall strength and ranking of the Rockets should not be worse next season. And which player of the Rockets can become the most valuable player in the regular season next season? After all, Durant has this opportunity.

Recently, the famous media ESPN invited some prediction teams composed of NBA experts, including some analysts, famous journalists and editors. They believe that the expected rankings of the regular season MVP next season are as follows: Jokic is most likely to become the MVP, and he scored 83 points; Doncic of the Lakers second, and he scored 62 points; next is last season's MVP and Thunder superstar Alexander, who scored 46 points; fourth is Antetokounmpo of the Bucks, who only scored 9 points; and fifth is Kevin Durant, the leading star of the Houston Rockets. Although he only scored 8 points, he can enter the top five of the MVP forecast list, which also shows the outside world's optimistic about Durant.

Although Durant's personal ability is not inferior to other superstars, it has to be said that the Rockets will be a team-type team next season. It is impossible for Durant to kill all the teams and score high scores by himself. Durant may have a 70% performance in the regular season. Only in the playoffs, the Rockets need him to perform at full power.

So, Durant's data may not be very good next season, but the Rockets' record should still rise steadily. Therefore, Durant is shortlisted in the top 5 of the MVP forecast list, which is also the optimism of the outside media for him. To be honest, Durant is 37 years old next season. With his performance next season and his tactical status in the team, it is indeed a bit difficult to win the regular season MVP, but in the playoffs, the Rockets finally found a reliable superstar.
