As the regular season winds down this weekend, some of the anointed national media folk will be voting for various awards for NBA Players, including:
- Most Valuable Player (MVP)
- Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY)
- Sixth Man of the Year
- Rookie of the Year
- Coach of the Year
- All-NBA teams (3 teams, 5 players each team)
- All-Defense teams (2 teams, 5 players each team)
- All-Rookie teams (2 teams, 5 players each team)
The Phoenix Suns figure prominently in a few of the award races, though among the individual awards they are only the favorite: Coach of the Year, for Monty Williams.
