Hi Everyone. I am trying to understand how the MVP voting works. I have a player that averaged more points, more rebounds and more assists than the player that won. He was in the top 10 in all of these stats. A player who won it was less in all 3 areas and scored 188 points. My player got 2.

Season 7, League III.9.

Efirandi won MVP and Joni Pyykko didn't. Can someone explain how it works!

cheers

Marty

IMO, your player didn't play enough games...

Stats don't tell all of the importance of your player.

I might certainly be that the MVP winner was a way better defender, or the MVP winner just made other teammembers play better.

The really quick off-the-cuff way of working it out is -

Average rating x total league minutes played

Of course the actual formula to work out MVP is probably a lot more complex, but it does seem players with higher ratings get beat by players with slightly lower rating but more minutes.

In your case -

Your player - Joni Pyykkö (7455910) 6.5 rating x 650 league minutes played = 4225
The winner - Adrian Efriandi (7115866) 7.0 rating x 900 league minutes played = 6300

So getting to the playoffs helps too.
