ESPN predicts the winners of major awards in the new season: Amen Chong MIP, Wenban DPOY leads the fault!

4:46pm, 27 August 2025【Basketball】

On August 27, yesterday ESPN's expert group voted for stars who may apply for trade in the new season and teams whose team's record may decline significantly. Today, their expert group predicted the winners of major awards in the new season. This vote can be said to have been recognized by most fans, and the controversy is not very controversial. Let's take a look at the more reasonable predictions this time.

Best Rookie

In the vote for the Best Rookie Awards: Flag scored 121 points first, Harper scored 38 points second, Edgecom scored 25 points third, Knypur scored 18 points fourth, and Espeley scored 16 points fifth. Flag's cliff-like lead, one of the main reasons why he is so optimistic is that Flag is too versatile. Not only is he excellent in offensive ability, but he is also very good in defense. He also has certain passing ability. US media once revealed that Kidd plans to let him play a ball-holding striker in the new season.

I don't think it's very likely that Harper will win the best rookie, after all, he will likely be the sixth man, and the team has Fox, which also hinders Harper's chances of winning the best rookie. Although Edgecomb is excellent, he has no absolute ball rights like Harper. Espeley has absolute ball rights, but is not favored. I think there is another one that was ignored by the ESPN jury. He is Trae Johnson. His top scoring ability and unlimited firepower are worth looking forward to.

Fastest Progressive Player

Fastest Progressive Player became the Thompson brothers' civil war: Amen Thompson scored 59 points, Nemhard scored 40 points, Orsa scored 18 points, Avdia scored 14 points, and Jaylen Johnson scored 14 points. Amen Thompson will definitely increase the ball in the new season. He is also the player with the Rockets' most ball rights besides Shin Kyung and Durant. He also has many empty-cut tactics and plays the core role on the defensive end. If the data is greatly improved, he has a chance to win the MIP.

Nemhard will become the team's ball-holding core in the new season, replacing Halliburton's role, and increasing the ball rights will also make him a popular player who will hit the fastest-progressive players. Olsa is not inferior to Amen, but he has not fully demonstrated due to injuries in the past few seasons, and he has the opportunity to prove his strength in the new season. As for both Avdia and Jaylen Johnson, they have the potential to become All-Stars in the future, it depends on how they perform next season.

Best Defensive Player

In the selection of the best defensive player, Wenbanyama ranked first with 95 points, Mobley scored 31 points, Homgren scored 20 points, Antetokounmpo scored 4th with 16 points, and Gobert scored 5th with 14 points. Gobert is no longer as popular as he used to be. After all, there are more and more top inside players in the league now, instead of the past, there are only a few of them in the league who have the ability to protect the frame. Antetokounmpo is probably going to be difficult, and he will focus more on offense and ball-holding organization in the new season.

Although Chet has good defense, he is not that dominant yet. With top defenders like Caruso and Dortmund, Chet originally has very little defensive pressure. Mobley won the best defensive player last season, but he was able to win because Wenban was injured. The Wenban returned in the new season. As long as he is not injured, he has no problem ranking first in the defensive end. After all, he can play a good defensive dominance when he comes on the court.

Best Sixth Person

In the selection of the best sixth Person: Caruso scored 66 points first, Reed scored 52 points second, Alexander Walker scored 39 points third, Prichard scored 18 points fourth, Jerome scored 17 points fifth. These are all top puzzles for the league's substitutes. Jerome almost won the best sixth man last season, but lost to Prichard. To be honest, Prichard may be in the starting lineup in the new season, partnering with Simmons, White and Brown. Brown may play in the No. 4 position, but the team's firepower will be stronger.

Walker left the Timberwolves, so he had more opportunities to play. Although he couldn't handle the ball, he had too strong offensive ability to hold the ball and attack. Reed has no Alexander Walker around in the new season, and he is under greater pressure on the offensive end, and the data will be improved in such a situation. If Caruso can win this honor, then he will not rely on scoring data, but probably his contribution to the team's winning.

MVP

In the MVP selection: Jokic scored 83 points first, Doncic scored 62 points second, Alexander scored 46 points third, Antetokounmpo scored 9 points fourth, and Durant scored 8 points fifth. Durant is here, and now he is no longer respected by the media. I don’t think it’s reasonable for them to enter the top five under such circumstances, although the Rockets are very strong. Although Antetokounmpo's personal ability is excellent enough, his record in the new season cannot be guaranteed.

Alexander has no ability, but it is probably difficult to score 68 wins again. As long as Doncic stays healthy in the new season, plus the Lakers' big football market, he is a big favorite of the MVP. After all, Jokic is the number one player in the league, and it is understandable that he ranks in this position, after all, his ability is far superior to others.

In terms of best coach: Magic coach Mosley scored 48 points, Hawks Snyder scored 24 points, Rockets Uduka scored 22 points, Knicks Brown scored 21 points, Spurs Mickey scored 16 points. As for who can score, it depends on the record. We won’t say in detail about this. Having said that, what do you want to say about this ESPN selection? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
