ESPN launched an offseason survey to 20 coaches, scouts, and executives in the NBA league, and one of the questions was which player was favored to win the MVP for the upcoming season.

The specific poll results are as follows:

Jokic: 7

SGA: 5

Doncic: 4

Vin Banyama: 2

Alphabet: 1

Edwards: 1

One Western Conference team scout said, "Jokic is the best player, rather the Nuggets will get better this new season." Those who voted for Doncic expect Doncic to stay healthy and reach full time with the Lakers after losing weight.
