Russell Westbrook for MVP

I know they're 0-4 but Davis has been insane too. 37 points, 13 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.5 steals, 3 blocks
 
Don't forget Harden. He's a previous runner-up, and he'll most likely put up the best stats of his career this season. He's currently averaging 32 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds.

Westbrook is a beast in regards to physically dominating the game. But does that make him MVP? What makes a player the most valuable? When I think of players like RW, I also would like to check one stat that shows how much they use the ball to put up all those stats. Guess who leads the league in usage ratings.

There are 18 teams in the table above if I've counted correctly. It's a good thing none of those is Jazz. Actually the Jazz are not even in top 50. It means the ball moves.


[FONT=&amp]( [/FONT][FONT=&amp]Usage Rate - the number of possessions a player uses per 40 minutes. Usage Rate = {[FGA + (FT Att. x 0.44) + (Ast x 0.33) + TO] x 40 x League Pace} divided by (Minutes x Team Pace))



Here's another table that shows the history of Usage rate rankings among NBA and ABA all time. Westbrook is 7th:

Westbrook or Harden are clear frontrunners

Sent from my A0001 using JazzFanz mobile app

I would throw Davis in that category as well even though his team is not winning as much. Davis is leading the league in scoring and shooting 3 less shots a game than Westbrook and leading the league in blocks. Harden is at 3 less points per game than Westbrook but shooting 5 less shots a game and getting more assists. But those three players if they are taken off their teams are instantly one of if not the worst team in the NBA.

I think Westbrook efficiency will start to taper off after the all star break or his body will break down a bit, same with Harden. They are just doing so much for their teams. Westbrook is already taking 24 shots a game on 42% shooting. If that number dips below 40% he should not win, that is just chucking, unless his team is in the top 4. But I think Utah will be the 4 seed by the end of the year and stay up there bumping OKC down to 6th where I think they might stay unless Westbrook misses a good chunk of time for injury.

Although as I was typing this I decided to look up distance traveled so far this season by players and Westbrook is 20th, Davis is 19th, and Harden is like 40th. Hayward is really high despite playing less minutes. He is normally top three but is 8th this season. Lavine, Barnes and McCullum are top 3. Although those are per game. Hayward doesnt make top 50 for totals because of games missed and Westbrook is #4. Davis and Harden stay the same.
 
I advise you to check out this analysis on Russ' rebound statpadding system which I think is onto a lot of unspoken facts about his numbers.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/5qat1j/statistically_analysis_russell_westbrooks/


The part that I liked the most is:

His poor rebounding in losses isn't the causation, rather it's the other team shooting a much higher percentage from the field thus reducing rebound opportunities and Westbrooks minutes due to the games being blowouts.

If you are checking from the app, one of those posts might include some meaningless codes. Here is the screen of them to check the list from the app.


And here is the updated version:

The first Utah player on the updated list is Hayward who is ranked 38th.

Ball moves under the shadow of Wasatch Front.

Harden has had two 50 point triple doubles this season, and the only player to ever do that, no?

And his team is considerably better. I think Harden will get it.
