Key Takeaways
1

Michigan’s national title win was fueled by elite free-throw shooting (25-28) and paint dominance, despite a 13.3% three-point shooting night.

2

Elliott Cadeau’s Most Outstanding Player award was surprising given his poor shooting, but his resilience through an allergic reaction and key defensive plays earned him the honor.

3

Victor Wembanyama’s injury may impact his Defensive Player of the Year chances, but he remains eligible due to a 15-minute exemption rule.

4

The Denver Nuggets are a strong playoff contender, with Nikola Jokic leading a dangerous, experienced team that could face Oklahoma City in the Western Conference Finals.

5

Cooper Flagg’s Rookie of the Year odds are improving due to recency bias and blowout performances, though Chet Holmgren remains a strong contender.
