 Welcome to my 2019 2020 NBA predictions now This is where it gets intense because there are a lot of predictions that will be available to make There's obviously the Eastern Conference the Western Conference the NBA Finals and VP to fence about the year rookie of the year Everything we're gonna break down in this video in my opinions now if you guys want to let me know what you guys think You don't have to go as in depth. You don't have to go your Western Conference Eastern Conference You can just go MVP defenders play the year rookie of the year and all those accolades And if you want to choose an NBA finals you can do that too But I want to hear what you guys think below in the conversation Who do you think is gonna rise and who do you think is gonna fall and let's see if you get right and if I get right So we can come back to this video in June July when the playoffs are about to start and see what happens See if we were correct or if we were just completely wrong with that said if you guys enjoy this house of videos Be sure to smash that like button subscribe if you're new hit the notification button and follow me in Instagram now Let's get on to the video So for my Eastern Conference NBA playoff predictions, I've got the Philadelphia 76ers as the first seed I think Ben Simmons is gonna really have a breakout season Joellen Bean looks like he's lost a little bit of weight and hopefully he can stay fit for the entirety of this season And if you can he's arguably the best big man in the league Then you've also got Tobias Harris and then obviously the guys that were added in Josh Richardson and Al Horford who just make this team even better So I'm gonna say that the Philadelphia 76ers will be the first seed in the Eastern Conference Then I've got the Bucks I still think Yanis can improve on his game and obviously he was the MVP last season Which means he's just gonna be even better But I do have the Bucks as the second seed and then I've got the Celtics as the third seed I think Kemba Walker is a better fit for the Celtics than Kyrie It's gonna be interesting to see who that second piece to actually lift for the Bucks and Celtics will be It will probably be Jason Tatum But it'll be interesting to see if he can turn into an MVP type of player or even an all-star type of player because He's still pretty young, but he does have the potential. I've got the Miami Heat as the fourth seed I'm a heat fan. I would love us to finish as the fourth seed bring in another all-star possibly maybe Chris Paul down the line I'm not sure but we could do some work if we can get an all-star kind of player to pair up with Jimmy Butler And we can also see the development of Tyler hero in his rookie year, which will be very interesting I've got the defending champs as the fifth seed the Brooklyn Nets as the sixth seed Pacers as the seventh and the Orlando Magic as the eighth and obviously the Detroit Pistons miss out They were in the playoffs last year Blake Griffin starting off this year unhealthy and that's really been his biggest flaw throughout his career It just hasn't really been able to stay healthy So I've got the Pistons missing out as well as the Bulls the Hawks the Nets the Wizards the Cavaliers and obviously the Charlotte Hornets As for the Western Conference, this is where it gets very very interesting. I've got the Lakers finishing as the first seed I think that when Paul George gets back and the Clippers mesh a little bit more that can easily be a race between the two But I do think that the Lakers will win the first seed now This is a very very bold prediction, but I've got the Utah Jazz I think the Utah Jazz just based on their chemistry will have a better Regular season than the Clippers, but the Clippers will definitely do better in the playoffs in my opinion So I'm gonna say that the Utah Jazz will finish at the second seed The Clippers will finish as the third seed the Denver Nuggets will finish as the fourth seed The trailblazers will finish as the fifth seed Houston They obviously have James Harden who is an absolute stud It's gonna be interesting to see how he meshes with Russell Westbrook But I just don't think they're gonna have the chemistry to start the year So that's why with the Western Conference being so close I will have them as the sixth seed But when the playoffs start if they are meshed and they actually work well together They could easily be a top team in the Western Conference But as now I'm gonna put them as the sixth seed the Warriors there at the seventh seed Clay Thompson's most likely not returning It's just hard to really know where they're gonna rank But I think the D low and Steph could be very very fun to watch but with the Western Conference being so stacked I just have to have them as the seventh seed and as the eighth seed I'm gonna go with the San Antonio Spurs. You really just can't count out the Spurs every year If you have Greg Popovich, you're gonna be a contending team So I have the Dallas Mavericks really missing out here I just think it's very unlucky that they're in the Western Conference because in the Eastern Conference Definitely a playoff team with Luca Dantich and Chris Arzpozingis But I have them missing out in the Western Conference same with the Pelicans Same with the Sacramento Kings, the Thunder, the Minnesota Timbles, the Phoenix Suns and of course the Young Man for Scrizzlies Which Jarmaran and JJJ, they're gonna be extremely fun to watch Jarron Jackson Jr. looks like he'll be a stud and Jarmaran's handles Whoo, that man can ball. He can handle the rock So those are my Eastern and Western Conference finals predictions Now the 2019-2020 NBA MVP There are so many candidates that can win this award and there's obviously a few that really depends I believe on how they rank in terms of their standings because you really only win an MVP as the top three seed It's an unwritten rule in the league Obviously there are the occasional players that do win it outside of the top three seed But typically it's somebody that was a top three seed Which really only leaves a few players because when you look back at my Eastern and Western Conference predictions I had the Philadelphia 76ers, the Bucks and the Boston Celtics Then on the West I had the Lakers, the Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Clippers That first of all eliminates Steph and Curry who I think will have an incredible season I think Steph and Curry will probably be the best player in the league in terms of leading the league in points per game This guy will shoot the lights out every night. There's no clay Thompson, but at the same time I just don't think they're gonna have a high enough seed for him to win the MVP So to me that really only leaves a few players. I don't believe anybody from the Celtics will win it So in the Eastern Conference, I believe it leaves Ben Simmons, Joellen Bied and Yardis Arta da Cumpo And in the Western Conference LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Kawhi Leonard James Harden is obviously another MVP candidate if he averages another 37 points He may be a guy that people just look out and say, okay, you don't need to be a top three seed to win MVP We're just gonna give it to you because at this point James Harden is doing things I haven't even ever seen before this guy is scoring buckets and he really deserves to win the MVP He could have won it last year But I'm gonna say that if they're gonna base it off winning as a top three seed Then it's hard to put James Harden there because I just don't think the Rockets will be a top three seed So honestly if I'm deciding who I want to win the MVP I would love if LeBron James at year 17 could go out there and win the MVP But I just don't know how they're gonna play him in terms of loan management I believe that he's probably gonna be on a similar length with Kawhi Leonard I do believe they're both gonna have rest management throughout this season and especially LeBron because he is obviously in year 17 And he's really only looking to win championships at this point I think the MVP days are behind him But that kind of leaves Anthony Davis in the roof Anthony Davis wide open if Anthony Davis is healthy throughout the entirety of this season He will average high stats He at this point will be the face of LA if he resigns with them for the next five years or so because LeBron eventually will slow down AD it's basically gonna be his team if he resigns with the Lakers and I think to start off LeBron and the rest of the squad is going to look to feed Anthony Davis and beat him Ben Simmons I give them a few more years Giannis obviously if he plays like last season, it's very very hard to not put Giannis in the conversation But I'm gonna go with a guy that many people wouldn't go with and that is Anthony Davis I do think he's the best big man overall. His stats are insane. He will be a top three seed I'm gonna go with Anthony Davis. Let's come back to this video I may be completely wrong or I might be surprised The rookie of the year the easy option is to say Zion Williamson This guy is an absolute stud And I think if we choose a player that isn't Zion Williamson and we kind of say if Zion is healthy It's kind of a little bit of a scapegoat And honestly my prediction is that this draft class will be one of the greatest draft classes of all time Match him up with a 2003 draft class. We may not have the all-star level talent like Zion might not be as good as LeBron RJ Barrett might not be as good as Carmelo Anthony Jarmarant might not be as good as DeWayne Wade, things like that But as a whole I believe that Zion, RJ, Cam Reddish, Jarmarant, Tyler Hero All these guys are going to be very very good players in the league in terms of who will win the rookie of the year I still believe it will be Zion Williamson But because he just announced that he's having surgery and he's going to be out for the first few weeks of the NBA season That kind of leaves options definitely available It kind of leaves Tyler Hero with a wide open spot if the Miami Heat actually decided to play him and as a heat fan I could see Tyler Hero really lighting some teams up out there I would love to say he would win rookie of the year as a heat fan. That will be absolutely insane Jarmarant, he's obviously a one of a kind talent. His handles are off the chart But I'm going to go with a guy that you know, why not Tyler Hero? Let the man do his work. Let him win a rookie of the year If the Miami Heat play him over DeWayne Wade as he's in the starting lineup He gets minutes He can really show what he's about the thing about Tyler Hero is that he is more than just a shooter And what do the Miami need? We need a shooter a playmaker and a guy that can really create his own shot And even though he's a rookie, I could see that being Tyler Hero Defensive player of the year. I'm going with Yarners. I believe he was very close to winning it last season I believe he's really going to focus more this season on his defense I think that Yarners will win the defensive player of the year six man of the year I actually do believe there'll be a guy that will come up that we haven't really thought of as a six man yet And I do believe it will be somebody that will help make a team even better than they originally were thought of Is that makes sense? But I don't know who it's going to be. I'm going to go with Marcus Smart I believe that Marcus Smart will actually have a very good season this season for the Boston Celtics He's playing obviously behind Kemba Walker as the point guard for the Boston Celtics And why not? It's a bit of a bold prediction It's easy to say Lou Williams or Eric Gordon because these guys have proven it in the past Marcus Smart is somebody that hasn't proven it But I'm just going to say that he may be the guy for the sixth man of the year this season And the most improved player, you know, I may seem biased But I'm going with Bam out of bio. I think that he's the starting center for the Miami Heat He's great on defense. He's definitely improved on the offensive side I just think that because he didn't really play a whole lot last season He definitely has the opportunity this year to be a most improved player So I'm going to say Bam out of bio But obviously there are all sorts of other guys Londo Ball will be interested to see how he plays Gordon Hayward, can he return to his all-star caliber form? Pascal Siakam, he's the star player for the Toronto Raptors So there are heaps of guys. In fact, Terry Rosia, the main guy on the Charlotte Hornets now But I'm going to go with Bam out of bio Now in terms of who will win the NBA Finals It's very hard to predict this at the start of the season But bring it back to the old days. Lake is the 76ers. We know about the rivalry Obviously as the season progresses, we're going to know more and more But in the Eastern Conference, I mean you've got the box in the 76ers I at this stage, I'm taking the 76ers over the box I think they have a much better roster overall But Giannis out of every player is the better player if you're comparing the 76ers in the box But I think Ben Simmons will improve on his defensive game And he will be able to improve as a whole on his offensive game too Which will lead the 76ers to the NBA Finals And then obviously if you're looking at the Western Conference, it is so hard to predict But LeBron and Davis, that's such a good duo At this stage, it could definitely be the Clippers making it to the NBA Finals But I'm going to go with the Lakers. I've got to see LeBron one more time in the NBA Finals But hey, it's prediction.
