Three weeks into the NBA Season, we already have some new potential major award candidates, and a couple new emerging contenders for the title.

Ausar Thompson of the Detroit Pistons is a surprising rookie standout, averaging a double-double in points and rebounds with impressive rim protection.
Tyrese Maxey has emerged as the second offensive star for the Philadelphia 76ers, scoring 50 points in a game and emulating Allen Iverson.
Ime Udoka, the new head coach of the Houston Rockets, has made a positive impact on the team's early success, promoting young center Alperen Şengün to a bigger offensive role.
