Paolo Banchero has been named the 22-23 NBA Rookie of the Year.

Banchero received 98 out of 100 first place votes to finish ahead of Jalen Williams and Walker Kessler.

Kessler received two first place votes, but just 17 second place votes. Williams received 75 second place votes.

Banchero is the first player selected first overall to win Rookie of the Year since Ben Simmons in 2018.

Lauri Markkanen has been named the 22-23 NBA Most Improved Player.

Markkanen received 69 first place votes, 27 second place votes and four third place votes to finish with 430 total points. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished second, while Jalen Brunson finished third.

Markkanen averaged 25.6 points per game on 49.9 percent shooting overall and 39.1 percent from 3-point range.

Malcolm Brogdon has been named the 22-23 NBA Sixth Man of the Year.

Brogdon averaged 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists; among those who played primarily off the bench this season.

Brogdon received 60 of 100 first-place votes and 408 points overall from a media panel. Immanuel Quickley was second at 326, getting 34 first-place votes. Bobby Portis had six first-place votes and 97 points.

“This is such an honor. It has definitely been a transition for me, coming from Indiana to Boston,” said Brogdon, who had started every game the past four years in the NBA before embracing his role to come off the bench when he was acquired by the Celtics. “My last two seasons, they weren’t super successful, so for me that was another gut check for me in understanding that maybe I’m not a No. 1 guy but I can be a great No. 2, 3 or 4.”

Mike Brown was voted as the NBA's Coach of the Year for the 2022-23 season.

Brown received all 100 first-place votes for the newly-designed Red Auerbach Trophy.

"I had to make sure I understood what their strengths were, and I had to accept being able to play to their strengths," said Brown about how he approached his first season with the Kings.

Mark Daignault and Joe Mazzulla finished second and third in voting, respectively.

De'Aaron Fox has been named the 22-23 NBA Clutch Player of the Year.

Fox was widely considered the favorite to win the award with DeMar DeRozan and Jimmy Butler the other two finalists. Fox received 91 first place votes, while Butler finished second and had one first place vote, 24 second place votes and 27 third place votes.

Jalen Brunson and Joel Embiid rounded out the top-5.

Fox led the NBA in clutch points during the season.

Jaren Jackson Jr. has been named the 22-23 NBA Defensive Player of the Year. Jackson received 56 first place votes, 35 second place votes and six third place votes.

Jackson led the league with 3.0 blocks per game this season, after finishing fifth in Defensive Player of the Year voting last season. 

Brook Lopez finished second with 31 first place votes, 47 second place votes and 13 third place votes.

Evan Mobley, Draymond Green and Bam Adebayo rounded out the top-5.

Mike Brown has been voted the National Basketball Coaches Association's Coach of the Year.

The Kings had a 48-34 record and the Western Conference's No. 3 seed in Brown's first season as head coach.

Monty Williams had won the award in each of the previous two seasons.

The NBA will announce its Coach of the Year winner, an award based upon media voting, later in the playoffs.

When it comes to NBA awards, Jaylen Brown said he wishes his team's and his own accomplishments stood for themselves. But Brown also gets how the game is played.

"I see myself as a guy who is constantly having to prove myself. That’s fine. But in reality, I don’t feel like I have anything to prove to anybody,” Brown said. “I’m going to come out and do my job each and every night, what’s asked of me on a consistent basis. I’m going to come out and get better every year until the day I die. That’s just the type of guy I am. That’s how my brain functions. I like to concern myself less with what others think, but now you get put into these moments and it’s like you don’t have a choice... [Bleep] it, I’m campaigning for myself.”

Brown also said the last couple of weeks of media coverage have taken a bit of a toll on him.

“It’s been a lot, to be honest,” Brown said. “Just a bunch of people chiming in. I see other people kind of running off things that I never said. Rumors lead to speculation. Speculation leads to misquotes and people going out and saying things that I don’t remember saying. It’s just a part of it. I get it that it’s the industry we’re in. Last couple of weeks have been — what’s the word I’m looking for? — It’s been a lot.”
