Prediction Roundtable
Daniel Connolly: Christian Vital. Josh Carlton seems like the easy answer but I’m not totally sold on him taking a big leap this year. Vital never takes a play off so I’d imagine he’ll grab plenty of rebounds on pure will alone.
Aman Kidwai: Josh Carlton edged out Christian Vital for this honor last year, and I think he’ll hold on to it for another year.
