For this week’s “Into the Bears’ Den” roundtable, our writers predicted who’ll win a myriad of awards in the NBA, as well as for the Memphis Grizzlies.

This week, Ryan Snellings, Ian Pierno, Parker Fleming and Ryan Schmitz predicted Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player of the Year and Sixth Man of the Year for the NBA and the Memphis Grizzlies (or in one case, that was the same).

There were a lot of similar picks from our writers for Rookie of the Year, but there were some intriguing picks for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award the the Memphis Grizzlies’ Most Improved Player Award.
