Draymond Green backs Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander as MVP frontrunner

Draymond Green said he agrees with ESPN's latest MVP straw poll that puts Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander first, Victor Wembanyama second, and Nikola Jokic third.

On The Draymond Green Show, the Golden State forward said he backs ESPN’s rankings, with SGA at number one, Wembanyama at two and Jokic rounding out the top three. He added that Wembanyama’s recent surge has earned him a close second spot, but the Warriors star believes SGA still holds the MVP lead and will need consistent performances to top the award.
