Editor's Note: This story was originally published on July 20. The NBA released the three finalists for each of the six major individual awards on Saturday.
The NBA told teams last month that none of the seeding games inside the Orlando, Florida, bubble will count toward individual regular-season honors.
That means Zion Williamson won't get the chance to beat the odds and challenge front-runner Ja Morant for the Rookie of the Year crown, and LeBron James won't get to pick up his chase of Giannis Antetokounmpo for MVP.
But the league's announcement does mean we get to reveal our experts' awards picks a bit early.
So who will win top individual honors for the 2019-20 season? Let's run down the list.
