2033 CSL Season MVP Rankings - First edition

Post by rh0xxy »

One and a half month has passed and we've already seen some flashy numbers popping up every single night. But nothing stands out among this group of guys below thus far:

Image
The almighty?

1. Zion Williamson (DAL) 30.9 PPG, 4.1 APG, 11.3 RPG, 1.9 BPG, 1.3 SPG
Best player in CSL today! Zion is gunning for another MVP plum. There's no stopping him from stomping his stuff unless his team tapers off or he suffers an injury. Currently in top 5 in FG% as well with 0.580.

2. Luka Doncic (NYK) 31.6 PPG, 10.4 APG, 6.5 RPG, 0.4 BPG, 1.7 SPG
A slip of a step by Zion opens up an opportunity by Luka to steal this MVP plum and it's very possible at this point. Currently tops the league in triple double and double double made.

3. Michael Porter (CLE) 27.0 PPG, 1.5 APG, 10.1 RPG, 1.6 BPG, 1.4 SPG
Cavs has woken up from it's slump which is a good sign for Porter's claim of the highest individual award. With another future HOF beside him, expect the Cavs to continue its uprising.

4. Donovan Mitchell (PHI) 28.8 PPG, 2.3 APG, 5.0 RPG, 0.7 BPG, 2.0 SPG
Donovan continues his resurgence since being traded to Philly, proving that last season was no fluke. Philly is having another solid start because of his play too.

5. Grant Williams (MIL) 22.1 PPG, 1.8 APG, 10.4 RPG, 0.9 BPG, 0.8 SPG
Grant is having his best season of his career thus far and has become Milwaukee's focal point on offense. He has missed some games due to injuries as a result of Bucks mini slump.

6. DeAndre Ayton (BKN) 23.0 PPG, 1.6 APG, 8.7 RPG, 2.9 BPG, 0.2 SPG
Ayton slips down mainly due to lesser minutes played, he's still very dominant these days. Currently leads the league in FG% with 0.618 but his defense is still his main repertoire.

7. Robert Williams (BKN) 19.7 PPG, 1.4 APG, 11.4 RPG, 3.1 BPG, 0.7 SPG
Ayton's partner's in crime is having a fantastic year particularly on the defensive end but you can't count out his offense also. He needs to be more consistent though.

8. Josh Giddey (ORL) 12.7 PPG, 14.3 APG, 6.8 RPG, 1.0 BPG, 1.7 SPG
The triple double machine is the main reason of Orlando's rise and expect this guy to dominate the league for years to come. He is just incredibly gifted with his craftiness in leading the offense but don't sleep on his defensive ability as well.

9. Nikola Jovic (CHA) 22.0 PPG, 7.0 APG, 6.9 RPG, 0.9 BPG, 1.6 SPG
Nikola is having a down year, perhaps because he has to share touches now with new additions in Morant and Dozier. Jovic is expected to turn it up at any given night so this may be just temporary.

10. Karlo Matkovic (SAS) 20.3 PPG, 1.8 APG, 7.4 RPG, 2.0 BPG, 1.2 SPG
The super sophomore is starting to claim this team as his own and his putting in the stats to validate it. Spurs has been one of surprise team of the early season and thanks to Karlo for that.

Honorable mentions: Victor Wembanyama, Frank Ntilikina, Ky Bowman, Alen Smailagic, Jarrett Culver, Naji Marshall, Cade Cunningham, Romeo Langford, Kobe Brown, Anthony Edwards, Jayson Tatum, Aaron Epps, and Kofi Cockburn

It’s Zion and Luka in that order for me.

Two Nets on this list is crazy to me. You only get two MVP candidates if your team is winning over 70% of its games, which the Nets aren’t.

Giddey doesn’t belong here. His stats are hyper-inflated due to 7SOL, and it’s Wemby who has pulled the Magic up from bottom-feeder to .500 team

I think I would swap Wemby with Giddey as well and otherwise I'm pretty agreed more or less. Giddey had similar numbers end of last season without wins, but Mr. 27/15 with 3 blocks is a gamechanger. Thanks for doing great one of these it was a fun read. I think we may stick with this setup and let Porter cook for the rest of the season

Great list here! I do think Ayton would be top 3 if he had a GM guiding the way.

Zion is such a beast! And unfortunately it may be that a good part of his career is wasted on a GM-less team.
He deserves better.

Read this but forgot to reply. Nice to see Williams having a great year after getting his pay day. Matkovic in SAS is also playing great... what a pick.

Glad to see Giddey on here, he's definitely the orchestrator! Hoping Wemby can make it too!
