Durant is the name you hear all over the place. It is like he came out of nowhere. I'm sure he is the favorite to win the Award.

My vote is for Brewer. He is one of the most exciting players to watch I've seen in a long time.

Agreed. I think Horford should definitely get more consideration then Green (nothing meant against Green, I just think Horford is a more dominant player).
