It's that time of year again, where CBS Sports' NBA writers look into crystal balls, plug numbers into spreadsheets and make wild guesses about who will win awards at the end of the season. Will Kevin Durant's presence in the Bay Area keep Stephen Curry from his third straight Most Valuable Player trophy? Will Joel Embiid play enough minutes to stop Kris Dunn becoming the third straight Minnesota Timberwolf to win Rookie of the Year? Is Kawhi Leonard going to win Defensive Player of the Year every single season from now on?
