Dwyer's Latest MVP List

So Kelly Dwyer of Ball Don't Lie gave out his early MVP predictions thus far. What do you guys think?

1. Lebron James because his team is 12-5, he's Kelly's proclaimed best basketball player, and he's avging about 30 pts, 8 asts, and 7 rebs, along with a combined 2 stls/blks.

2. Chris Paul, basically because he was good when he played before he got injured.

3. Carmelo Anthony, Melo's been pretty good to start the year and has been playing great all-around game. He's got the highest ppg average in the league. Apparently beat out Bosh by a whisker because of Bosh's defense.

He also did coaches.

1. Stan "the Man" Van Gundy, because of integrating a slew of new players, playing without Shard, and still having a good record

2. Phil Jackson, because he's integrated Artest, he's got the Lakers playing solid D, and he coached through Gasol's absence with a nice record

3. Alvin Gentry, because the Suns aren't as bad as he thought they would be and they're actually winning on a pace towards winning more than 50 games.

Notable Omissions:

MVP List:

Kobe, Nash, Dirk, Bosh, A lot of people were arguing about Wade, but he hasn't been playing as well lately.

Coach List:

Scott Skiles of the Bucks, missing their best scorer, starting a rookie at PG, and has been missing Bogut and they're over .500 barely but their of their last couple games only one has been decided by more than 3 points.

Mike Woodson, no one thought the Hawks would be doing this well at this time in the year or be in contention or possession of the best record at any point and time.

Thats just what I think. What do you guys think? Here's the link. it has most improved player and ROY nominations as well.
