According to Polymarket
Victor Wembanyama is now the favorite to win Most Valuable Player, Defensive Player of the Year, and Most Improved Player this season. Nobody has ever won all three of these awards in the same year
I did a quick search, and the closest to have those 3 at the same time is Giannis.
Giannis won the DPOY and MVP in 2019 and 2020 NBA season, but he won the MIP in 2017 so not on the same year. He's the only player who got 3 awards.
For me, it's still too early to tell if he will win all 3 of that title in a single season. We just saw him play his worst performance this season against the Suns where they got their first loss to them. It's good to see him winning all 3, but for me, still too early.
The top team in the West is facing the bottom one, the outcome is pretty clear. The Pelicans just can't stop their bad run. There were huge expectations for Zion, but it seems like people have lost hope in him. He never became the kind of superstar who can carry his team.
The Thunder are excellent though. Just like last year, they're starting 7-0. It's an incredible start that sends a strong message to every other team. There hasn't been a back-to-back champion in last years, but the Thunder look like they are a serious contender again this season.
I really thought that the Pelicans will be better now that Williamson is back, but they started really awful with 0-6. Looking at their opponents though, 4 of them are against top teams currently like the Nuggets, Thunder, Spurs and the Clippers. It's just a shame that they lost to a short-handed Celtics though.
As for the Thunder, it's a given already knowing that they didn't change too much on their roster meaning they will have the same performance as last year so it's expected. It's been a while since there has been a team that won back-to-back title. Will the Thunder be the one? I predicted it last year against the Celtics, and it didn't happen, so I will not predict this time so that it will happen, but honestly, they can do it knowing how great and deep their roster is currently.
