I know it won't happen, but Cam is the obvious choice. What a player. 32 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 turnover and 3 steals.

GoDuke!

It’s so hard not to pick Cam especially when he was scoring early when no one could shoot - plus working so well with Pat down low. But, Maliq made so many defensive plays and impacted the game everywhere.

If Maliq is not DPOY some voters need to lose their right to vote. We really need him and I think he might be our 2nd MVP behind Cam.

GoDuke!

Maliq was great. But I always vote for the best performance and it is (almost) always Cam.

Yeh, Cam did everything but sell tickets and he would have done that if it hadn't been a sellout. What a player.

GoDuke!

Went with Cam.. but Maliq was amazing. Seems like he’s been getting better each game so far. He looks so comfortable but is so effective…

I heard he also led in popcorn and coke sales.

Hard not to vote for Cam. Dame played solid D until foul trouble. Maliq wasn't just good, he played very good. Im also getting impressed with the effort put out by Nic. I hope he gets on a hot streak shooting corner 3's !

As usual, Cam is most valuable. After Cam. Maliq really was a strong candidate.

I don't know if anyone noticed this, or if I'm imagining it, but for a period of time in the second half, it seemed that Cam was looking to pass more than score, even when he had a situation where he would normally make a pivot move and score. Then, in the last 2-3 minutes he was in the game, he looked to score (and did!) several times. I wondered, did the coaches tell him to keep scoring, or did he want 30 points, or was he showing he can basically do whatever he wants?
