We will periodically look at underachievers in the NBA and award them at the conclusion of the season.Though the chances of presenting these awards in person is absolute zero, the players/organizations deserve to know that their poor performance was not overlooked.

To make sure this happens, Waylon's World will send announcements to the winners via e-mail or, possibly, "snail mail."The awards breakdown as follows:Only Valuable Player: The one valuable player on a lackluster roster.Hooky of the Year: Rookie that didn't show up for his team this year.Most Defensive Player: Player most defensive of his own play.13th Man Award: Most valuable inactive player.Least Improved Player: Player with the most diminishing talent.Hot Seat Coach of the Year: Head coach most likely to lose his/her job.General Mismanager of the Year: NBA leader in gross mismanagement.Click through the slideshow and check out the early season favorites for the Waylon's World Awards.. LeBron James is the obvious choice for the Only Valuable Player award. Say what you want about Shaquille O'Neal's addition to the Cavs. I love Shaq as much as the next guy, but I'll be the first to admit that he passed his prime about five years ago Some would make a case for Mo Williams. Seriously though, Mo "Freaking" Williams That's like Barack Obama running for president with a running mate like Joe Biden...oh wait...er...never mind, bad analogy.Point is, Cleveland has repeatedly come up short delivering the "Chosen One"; a star-quality sidekick in a league loaded with stars. It's a bit late now, but a savvy Cavs front office would have traded up and drafted a supreme prospect to compliment their franchise player. That could put them over the hump for an NBA title and help retain their man (Allen Iverson is not the answer).Last season's NBA MVP may wind up the OVP if he doesn't get some help soon.Honorable Mention: Chris Paul (New Orleans Hornets).

The true winner here should be Ricky Rubio because he's literally not going to be showing up this year, unless you follow the Euroleague. Because this is about play, or, rather, poor play in the NBA, we're going to have to rule out Rubio.On the same token, we're going to wait it out on Blake Griffin, who has yet to play due to a knee injury. All judgments will be on hold until Griffin takes the floor.That said, who would have thought that, without Rubio and Griffin, the draft class of 2009 would look so good.Brandon Jennings is the big surprise here, looking like an all-star, if not an MVP candidate. Jennings has already had a 55 point performance and shows no signs of slowing down.Most of the eight teams that picked before the Bucks selected Jennings at the 10 spot have to be kicking themselves for passing up such a talented player.That brings us to the NY Knicks lottery pick, Jordan Hill. Greeted by boos from New York fans on draft day, Hill is in for a rough ride.On a team with only two wins, Hill is getting just over six minutes per game. The Knicks are using fellow rookie Toney Douglas far more than Hill, giving him over 15 minutes a night.Jordan Hill may turn out to be a wonderful player; until then, he looks like he'd rather play hooky.Honorable Mention: James Harden (Oklahoma City Thunder). Hands down, Allen Iverson has had to defend his abilities on the court more than anyone in the NBA.
