San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama stands a chance to be the youngest MVP winner in NBA history, supplanting Derrick Rose. He won't be the favorite going into the year, partially for that reason, but also because there are some supremely talented players in the league right now. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just had an unreal season, and Nikola Jokic is a perennial contender for the honor.
Funny enough, the Joker's numbers are a piece of what should give fans hope that Wemby can pull off the near impossible. Denver's franchise center has won the trophy three times, with the last time being just a season ago.
