They started sending this out to journalists this afternoon. LINK

quote:

Greivis’ season averages for points, assists and rebounds are roughly double his career averages coming in to the season.

Greivis Vasquez leads the NBA in total assists.

Greivis recorded 6 games with 10+ assists in his first two seasons in the league combined, in 2012-13 Vasquez recorded 24 games with 10+ assists by the All Star break alone.

FWIW, someone started a thread on reddit yesterday asking who everyone thought was MIP, and Vasquez' name was the most upvoted...seems like the fans kinda believe he is. it will be interesting to see if Jrue wins it, though

Good to hear people think that.

Every piece of media I've seen on the subject has been a form of "Jrue's clearly winning it, so it's a question of who comes in second."

i don't think there's any doubt that Jrue has had a very good year, but so many people say that GV shouldn't win because of the team he's on...and then they fail to mention that Jrue is on a pretty damn shitty team too

He isn't going to win, but he should definitely be top 3

IMO the franchise having to "campaign" for it is a pretty telling sign he isn't going to win

not really. programs campaign for their players to win the heisman, for instance. it's all just strategy to boost their vote.

Oh I know, I get it. I'm glad the Hornets are doing it too. Shows they're committed to their guys.

I'm just saying I don't see any "Holiday for MIP" or "George for MIP" campaigns getting started. Because they don't need them, because one of the two is going to run away with it.

They better hurry up if they want to run away with it.

I'm pretty sure it's Paul George's to lose.

It'd up his trade value to win or finish highly.

Seriously

I mean I know Vasquez is a pretty average starting NBA PG but I don't hate him for it

If you should hate someone on this team, it should be pussy pants, not Vasquez

Anthony Davis has less than a year to get the MIP.
