De'Aaron Fox not cracking the top-10 in a popularity contest isn't surprising. Unless you have League Pass, how many fans have actually watched him play this season? He's behind Klay Thompson, whose biggest moment this season was making fun of Rodney McGruder.

Buddy also asked that the media not to be so hard on Marvin Bagley III, said he's a young player and this is a tough time. I'm passing that message on to the fans and trolls who are going after Bagley. I believe most of the media has been fair to Bagley and defended him.
