Will Magnay MVP
Let's say the jackjumpers keep winning at a high clip the rest of the season and finish somewhere between 4-6 and Magnay stays healthy tacks on two more points and rebounds to his current averages is he a top 5 MVP candidate? For mine he will be all nbl first team and DPOY.
He is the Jackie’s most important player, tone setter and is now playing good minutes every game. Roth has ultimate trust in him on both ends and plays him until he needs a breather. Magnays ability to switch onto smaller players and stay in front of them or meet them at the rim if they do get past him is basically unmatched by any other big in the league.
For me Sydney are too deep for cooks to be a true contender and I think they may stay inconsistent all season, New Zealand are looking very shaky the last few games so could end up struggling down the stretch as they struggle currently with big man depth and the addition of tacky fall mucking things up. I think the main contenders will be bryce and then Harrell. But even still this leaves 1-2 spots in that top 5 and I think Magnay could squeeze in there.
If the Jackie’s start to realise almost every time they give the ball to Magnay down low good things happen so begin to give it to him more his scoring and assist numbers will tick up automatically. In my opinion he is the best Aussie centre in the NBL and the best on the defensive end regardless of position(closely followed by illi).
