He finished low in the voting, so the NBA world doesn't see him as worthy.
I wouldn't expect him to land any higher than 6th on the list of possible backups and perhaps much lower - and there probably will only be 3 backups selected.
Brown
Harden
Haliburton
Young
DeRozan
LaMelo
Garland
LaVine
Holiday
IMO, the only ones from that list that will make it are Brown (BOS), Haliburton (IND), Brunson (NYK). Holiday (MIL) could be a dark horse. The others don't have games/record to support their case.
We just paid a whole lot of money to a guy that went 9-29 (31%) on FG and 3-20 (15%) 3-pt% in both our win or go home elimination games last couple of playoffs. SMH
