Victor Wembanyama: DNP versus Pacers (knee)
Evan Mobley: 8/11/4/1/3 versus Nuggets
Karl-Anthony Towns: DNP versus Hawks (illness)
Nikola Vučević: 17/10/5/0/0 versus Magic

Honorable Mention
Pascal Siakam: 23/10/5/2/0 versus Spurs

Not enough qualified statlines = no award.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

1/3 Big Man update:

Rudy Gobert: 13/12/1/1/0 versus Heat
Bam Adebayo: 12/9/4/0/1 versus Timberwolves
(BMOtN) Joel Embiid: 26/10/5/0/0 versus Knicks
Karl-Anthony Towns: 23/14/2/2/0 versus 76ers
Nikola Vučević: 28/7/8/0/1 versus Hornets
Victor Wembanyama: DNP versus Trail Blazers (knee)
Alperen Şengün: 0/1/0/0/0 versus Mavericks (injured 1st qtr)
Anthony Davis: 26/12/3/0/5 versus Rockets

Honorable Mention
Donovan Clingan: 24/12/4/0/0 versus Spurs


Both the Rockets and the Spurs were missing their big men, so I'm giving it to The Process due to quality of opposition.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

1/4 Big Man update:

Jalen Duren: DNP versus Cavaliers (ankle)
Evan Mobley: 15/4/5/1/4 versus Pistons
Bam Adebayo: 12/6/6/1/1 versus Pelicans
Rudy Gobert: 18/14/0/0/4 versus Wizards

Not enough qualified statlines = no award.

Alperen Şengün: DNP versus Suns
Joel Embiid: 32/10/2/0/1 [6 to] versus Nuggets
Ivica Zubac: 10/11/3/0/1 versus Warriors

Barring the two remaining games each having multiple Honorable Mentions from the winning teams, there will not be enough qualified statlines for an award.

(BMOtN) Victor Wembanyama: 21/6/1/0/3 versus Celtics
Anthony Davis: DNP versus Bulls (hand)
Nikola Vučević: 15/12/3/1/2 versus Mavericks

Honorable Mention
Jarrett Allen: 16/11/4/1/1 versus Timberwolves

Giving it to Wembanyama over Mobley, on account of:

1. The Celtics are a slightly better team than the Timberwolves.
2. The Spurs win was on the road, and
3. Wembanyama is still on a minutes restriction..

1/11 Big Man update:

Joel Embiid: DNP versus Raptors (groin)
*Karl-Anthony Towns: 20/11/3/0/2 versus Trail Blazers

1/12 Big Man update:

Evan Mobley: 15/9/8/2/3 versus Jazz
*Joel Embiid: 27/8/4/2/0 [7 to] versus Raptors
Anthony Davis: DNP versus Nets (hand)
Ivica Zubac: 9/11/2/0/0 versus Hornets

Not going to be enough qualified statlines for an award, unless the winning team in the CHA/LAC game has two Honorable Mentions)

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

1/12 Big Man update:

Bam Adebayo: 29/9/4/2/1 versus Suns
Nikola Vučević: 14/7/5/1/2 versus Rockets
Alperen Şengün: 23/7/11/0/1 versus Bulls
Rudy Gobert: DNP versus Bucks (suspended)
Victor Wembanyama: 17/7/1/0/1 versus Thunder

There are presently only two qualified statlines so, unless someone gets an Honorable Mention in a win, there will be no award.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

1/14 Big Man update:

(BMOtN) Evan Mobley: 17/13/6/1/4 versus 76ers

Anthony Davis: DNP versus Nuggets (hand)
Karl-Anthony Towns: 13/4/1/5/0 versus Kings
Ivica Zubac: DNP versus Wizards (ankle)

Honorable Mention
Pascal Siakam: 26/10/2/0/0 versus Raptors
Precious Achiuwa: 20/14/2/2/2 versus Knicks

I was tempted to give it to Achiuwa but a) Mobley had a slightly more well-rounded statline, and b) the Cavs were on the road.

Jalen Duren: 16/18/2/0/2 versus Suns
Bam Adebayo: 22/4/5/0/0 versus Celtics

Anthony Davis: DNP versus Jazz (hand)
Karl-Anthony Towns: 17/20/2/1/1 versus Warriors

Barring an Honorable Mention coming from the winning team in one of the last three games, there's not going to be enough qualified statlines for an award.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Joel Embiid: 33/5/3/0/1 versus Cavaliers

It's Wemby's to lose, pending the outcome of the Heat/Warriors game... which I will not be staying up for the end of.
