NBA Award Odds

NBA Award Races are often talked about. There are many awards, including Defensive Player of the Year, Most improved player, Rookie of the Year, Most Valuable Player, Coach of the Year, and Sixth Man of the Year. I think all of these awards will go to different players than last season, except for possibly MVP. These are my predictions and what I think about how NBA players match up with each other at this point in the season.
MVP
1.) LeBron James- Lebron is the favorite to win MVP by a long shot, for the 3rd year in a year, as he is shooting nearly 60% from the field and putting up great stats season by season, consistently.
2.) Kevin Durant
3.) Paul George
Rookie of the Year
1.) Michael Carter-Williams- Lighting up the NBA game ever since his great opening night vs the Heat, will have a close competitor by the Orlando Magic's guard, Victor Oladipo.
2.) Victor Oladipo
3.) Trey Burke
Most Improved Player
1.) Eric Bledsoe- Coming first in MIP voting is Eric Bledsoe, having a great year with the Suns and leading them to many victories after backing up Chris Paul last year on the LA Clippers.
2.) Anthony Davis
3.) Jared Sullinger
Coach of the Year
1.) Terry Stotts- The Portland Trailblazers are having an amazing year after not even making the playoffs last year, and this is pretty self explanatory as to why he should win this award, and possibly some games in the playoffs.
2.) Frank Vogel
3.) Jeff Hornaceck
Defensive Player of the Year
1.) Roy Hibbert- Racking up the blocks on the Pacers, being the heart and soul of the defense.
2.) Deandre Jordan
3.) Anthony Davis
