Is it Jabari Smith or Walker Kessler or the Green/Johnson combo? I would argue Kessler because of the number of interior shots that he blocks or affects + the number of shots not taken because of his presence. What say you?

Kessler then Smith. Which is why it kills me that half of our possessions are guards hoisting shitty shots.

I guess our MVP is Kessler but any given night we can have different players carry our team. KD and Kessler doing well while Wendell and Jabari chop wood and vice versa is how long runs are made.

If we can only get Flanagan, Cambridge, and J Will going.

Jabari is by far the best player, but the most valuable is Kessler.

We have players that can sub for Jabari and the guards and, though nowhere near as good, can give us some minutes with producing results partially as good.

Auburn has NO ONE that can do what Kessler does.

Kessler, just a dominant force. The game looks different when he’s on the bench, the other teams have a harder time scoring when he’s on the floor.

Kessler by a good margin followed by Jabari. It’s a landslide from there with KD likely a distant 3rd.

I agree it's Kessler. Frustrating to watch the offense not consistently flow thru/to him.

But the job that Cardwell does when Kessler is on the bench has been impressive.

Kessler is the MVP. That being said, not sure he’s a guy you run the offense through. Great PnR player but if the defense is taking that away it’s gonna come down to the guards + Jabari getting buckets

At the end of the day, as someone noted earlier, there are about 7 guys that can be that games MVP, but on a regular basis if we were going to miss someone that would hurt the team the most it’s Jabari. Jabari could play the Center position if he had to but what most don’t realize, defenses are set to account for Jabari which frees up Kessler and others. Jabari has been quiet a couple of games and ever time he is, we almost lose.
