While the criteria for the award is imprecise,[1] it is typically given to a player who overcomes adversity to return to a remarkable level of performance, such as from not playing the previous season, injury, or for playing well in comparison to the previous year's poor performance.[2] If a player can come back from such adversity or play at a high level over the previous year, they will usually be favored to win the award.
*** I quoted the wrong post, but my point still stands … Hamlin is barely one step above a PS player. Nothing remarkable or high level about anything he’s done this season (or ever, really). ***
