Sam Yip of HoopsHype recently compiled data from 23 years of the annual NBA GM Survey. With it, Yip broke down the teams, players, and coaches who have been projected to win the honors bestowed with each passing season, including MVP.
A shocking revelation came from that compilation of data: Luka Doncic is the only player whom the NBA GM Survey named as a favorite to win MVP who has yet to claim the honor.
With data going back to 2002-03, nine players have been named the NBA GM Survey favorite to win MVP. Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James leads the way with 11 projected wins and Kevin Durant checked in at a distant second with three.
