Does Mark Jackson get a vote this year or did they revoke his privileges?

Of course it’s not close. Voters are pretty consistent — 13 of the last 15 years it’s been the leader in at least 2 of the big 5 advanced stats (PER, WS, WS/48, VORP, Box+-) because those pretty well match what voters are looking for in terms of overall impact, including things like efficiency. The only 2 times it wasn’t, there was a strong narrative element — DRose on a surprise #1 team in a year there was strong anti-LeBron-superteam sentiment, and Embiid last year who was playing hard down the stretch while Jokic was coasting and there was a “can’t give him 3 in a row” narrative as well as the Perkins race narrative. This year, Jokic leads all 5 advanced stats, nobody is going to catch him in any of them, and instead of a narrative against there’s a narrative for him based on making up for last season, and his postseason dominance, and the fact that his team is fighting for the 1 seed in spite of missing Jamal for 1/3 of the season. So it’s Jokic by a mile.
