Rookie of The Year: John Wall
John Wall will be one of the most electrifying rookies you will see play in the NBA. He can get to the basket with his great speed and his body control allows him to make plays around the rim as well as find teammates with passes. Expect Blake Griffin and DeMarcus Cousins to compete with him for the award.


Most Valuable Player: Kevin Durant
Now that LeBron James is with the Miami Heat, his numbers will go down and last year's scoring champion, Kevin Durant, will take over. Durant is just a scoring machine and year after year this guy just keeps getting better. Look for Derrick Rose to battle it out with him, but finish 2nd in the voting.



Most Improved Player: Luis Scola
In the 2010 FIBA World Championships, Luis Scola exploded, averaging close to 30 ppg. Scola will have a huge role for the Rockets this year, with Carl Landry being traded and Yao Ming playing limited minutes. As for the runner up, JJ Hickson will also show to be a much improved player.



Sixth Man of the Year: Jason Terry
Jason Terry won the Sixth Man of the Year in 2009, but last year, was outplayed by Jamal Crawford. Crawford will be distracted this year because of Atlanta's unwillingness to extend him and Terry re-claim the award. Look for Anderson Varejao of the Cavs to be right behind him in the race.





Coach of the Year: Tom Thibodeau
Tom Thibodeau, newly hired head coach of the Bulls, will show a lot of promise in his first year as a head coach. He will take this young Bulls squad and make them one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. Expect Scott Skiles to also be in contention for this award, and finish as runner up.
