Anthony Edwards has put up amazing performances this year. He has posterized multiple times. He averages 14.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.4 assists. He has led the Timberwolves to a 7-23 season. The record is the worst in the league, but Edwards shows some hope for Timberwolves fans in the long run. He is becoming the future of this team, and I can see the Timberwolves doing a rebuild around Edwards. He truly loves the game and plays every game he can play. No need to worry T-Wolves fans, Edwards will be around for a long time.
Sixth Man of the Year:
Jordan Clarkson, PG/SG, Utah Jazz
Jordan Clarkson has put up some great stats this year. He averages 18.2 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. He has led the Jazz backups to a 24-6 record. They are the best in the league.

If he countinues with these types of performances, Jordan Clarkson will undoubtedly be crowned Sixth Man of the Year for 2020-21.
Most Improved Player:
Jerami Grant, SF/PF, Detroit Pistons
Jerami Grant has put up incredible stats this year. He has led the Pistons to an 8-21 season. While their record isn't great, Jerami's statline is.

He is up to 23.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game. Grant is a great player and deserves Most Improved Player.
Coach of the Year:
