I'm going against the grain here. Simputer named Antonio Blakeney, and rightfully so. But someone else can earn that point for nominating Blakeney, because I'm nominating Phil Smith.

The Hawks were the surprise of the season. Most active GMs in the league had been waiting and drooling for Phil Smith to enter UFA because Loco could not exercise RFA rights due to unpaid tax, and for the first season in Smith's career, he's demonstrating why. We can't undermine the support he has gotten from the vet Diallo, and Lucas off the bench, but Smith was the true star of this team, carrying them to the playoffs (carrying too much, apparently, going down with injury to cap the season).

Every GM should be keeping an eye on Phil Smith now. He just took a team decades in the loss column to a legit #4 seed - higher if he didn't get injured.

Vaughn Millsap, SCORING LEADER, was ABSOLUTELY snubbed by the computer. Originally a throw in in the Remy Martin trade, Vaughn was the lone reason my team was in contention this season and one of the key reasons I opted to go IN on competing this year ahead of my original plan. Millsap's numbers don't lie, regardless the minutes.. 30ppg is a TALL TASK to ask of someone night in and night out... yet he put this team on his back and delivered and turned a would-be tanking team who was in the top 2 of the draft last off-season into a playoff team. He was quite literally the most valuable player in context in the league.

It's this guy Schiff, right? 25.6-11.3-2.8 (with 2.1 assists) on 53% shooting, 76% from the FT line, 26.0 PER and a surge to take a division crown once Nick got into a GM groove.

2. Antonio Blakeney

My white whale. Before AB jumped and was purple, he wasn't even a top 3 draft consideration. He was slated to go to Louie's Hawks, and I wanted to work out a deal to trade up. We were so close that he renamed the guy what I asked him to because he hadn't gotten back to me in time to trade me the pick alone. I think this was the biggest mistake. Andy saw the rename which must've signaled him that AB was gettable and had a pick one ahead of me. He's been on everyone else's list, so y'all know what he can do as a player.
