Disrespect to Tyrese Haliburton. Averaging nearly 25 points, 12.5 assists, and 4 rebounds on 67.7% TS, only 2.1 turnovers per game, and the Pacers are 7-4 but the loss to Boston he didn’t play and they got blown out.

He’s also 2nd in BPM only behind Jokic and historically, the MVP winner is usually 1st or 2nd in this stat. Last 3 guys to not be top 2 in BPM and win MVP were Rose (3rd), Kobe and Nash.

I’m kinda shocked he’s not a top 5 candidate right now. If he carries a supporting cast of Myles Turner, Benedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin and Bruce Brown to a top 4 seed (3 of these guys were solid bench players last year), he absolutely has to be in the conversation.

Who should he be ahead of?
