MVP: John Wall

John Wall led the Washington Wizards in scoring, assists and steals per game while posting a team-high 23.2 PER.

He created more points via assists than anyone but James Harden, and those chase-down blocks are always fun—even if they obscure the fact Wall slipped on D this season.

DPOY: Otto Porter

If Ian Mahinmi had played even half the season, this award would have gone to him. But with Marcin Gortat and Otto Porter the only other viable options on a defense that quietly unraveled in the second half, we'll go with the latter, who was second on the team in steals and third in defensive box plus-minus (behind Mahinmi and Gortat).

Gortat's failure to affect pick-and-roll defense and general lack of mobility hurts him here. He just looked too slow, even if some metrics like him better than Porter.

Biggest Surprise: Porter's shooting.

Porter is shooting 43.7 percent from distance this year, which ranks fourth in the league. For a guy with such funky form and a previous career high of 36.7 percent, that's a bit of a shock.

A close second would be Kelly Oubre Jr.'s transformation into a viable defender of power forwards.

Double Leap Award: Otto Porter and Bradley Beal

You usually don't get two of these, but Porter and Bradley Beal made leaps in the same season.

Beal dropped 30 or more points 13 times this year after totaling just four such games in his first three campaigns, and he revealed new layers in his offensive game beyond spot-up shooting.

The Wizards are going to have to pay to keep this group together, but they have a terrific wing pairing to go with Wall.
