Rookie of the Year
年度最佳新秀Trae Young's incredible finish to the season isn't enough to supplant Luka Doncic, who is an overwhelming favorite, according to our panel.
特雷-杨赛季后半段的出色表现并不足以替代卢卡-东契奇成为最佳新秀。东契奇在专家组的预测中拥有压倒性的优势。All season long, Doncic has combined usage, efficiency and scoring in rare ways for a player his age.
整个赛季他都能做到量与质兼顾，使用率、效率与得分能力齐头并进，在同龄球员中难得一见。

年度最佳教练The most challenging leap to make in the NBA is going from good to great. The Milwaukee Bucks' ascendancy to best regular-season team — with mostly the same pieces from last season — is driving Mike Budenholzer's candidacy here. He has developed a system around Antetokounmpo that has made the Bucks top three in both offensive and defensive rating.
在NBA最艰难的进化，就是从好到伟大。密尔沃基雄鹿的阵容和上赛季基本一致，然而却成了常规赛最佳的队伍，这就是为什么迈克-布登霍尔泽能够成为候选人。他为字母哥量身定制的体系，使雄鹿在进攻端和防守端都名列联盟前三。Who Should Win?

年度最佳第六人Lou Williams is on track to win his third Sixth Man award — as long as he can hold off his own teammate. Williams and Montrezl Harrell have sparked a surprising LA Clippers' season as an unstoppable bench duo, with Williams collecting most of the first-place votes here.
路-威廉姆斯正在向着第三座最佳第六人进发——只要队友别来搅局。威廉姆斯和蒙特利兹-哈雷尔本赛季在替补席大有作为，一起点燃了快船这个惊人的赛季。这就是为什么威廉姆斯能够收到最多的一轮选票。Domantas Sabonis, who essentially could not miss to start the season for the Indiana Pacers, joins the Clips in the top three.
多纳塔斯-萨博尼斯，本赛季为步行者效力，也是该奖项排名前三的候选人。Who Should Win?

Most Improved Player
最快进步球员Kawhi Leonard is on pace to miss more than 20 games, yet the Toronto Raptors will likely finish with the second-best record in the NBA. Pascal Siakam is a big reason why. Once a defensive role player and promising sixth man, Siakam has flourished into a real offensive threat — creating looks in transition and becoming a capable shooter from deep.
科怀-伦纳德本季缺席超过20场，然而多伦多猛龙却很有机会以常规赛胜场第二名的成绩结束本季。帕斯卡-西亚卡姆扮演了至关重要的角色。之前他只是一个防守型球员和一个有潜力的第六人，本季则蜕变猛龙的一大进攻威胁，在转换进攻中富有创造性，并且成为了一个很可靠的射手。Breakout guards D'Angelo Russell and De'Aaron Fox are his main competition here.
德安杰洛-拉塞尔和达龙-福克斯也在本赛季爆发了，是他的主要竞争对手。Who Should Win?
那么谁会赢呢？Others receiving votes: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Malcolm Brogdon, Jaylen Brown, John Collins, Montrezl Harrell, Tobias Harris, Buddy Hield, Zach LaVine and Derrick Rose.

年度最佳防守球员Rudy Gobert is on track to win his second DPOY award in a row if he can fend off Paul George and Antetokounmpo.
鲁迪-戈贝尔很有机会拿下自己的第二座最佳防守球员，如果他能在评选中击败保罗-乔治和阿德托昆博。Defensive impact is maybe the hardest quality to quantify. Still, Gobert has a strong case. He is comfortably No. 1 in ESPN's defensive real plus-minus (4.50), ahead of George and Antetokounmpo (tied for 19th at 2.85).
防守端的影响力也许是最难量化评估的。即便如此，戈贝尔的表现依旧很出色。他的真实防守正负值稳稳当当的排在ESPN的第一位（4.50），领先于乔治和安德托昆博。（以2.85并列第19名）Who Should Win?
