Who will the Most Improved Player this season, who gets your vote?

For me, there are two players that stand out:

  • Cam Thomas (BKN) - 26.9 ppg (10.6 last season), also improved a bit in every other category.

The main question about him is that can he continue on being a bucket for the rest of the season. If he can I think its a nobrainer for him to win the award.

  • Jalen Johnson (ATL) - 14.9 ppg (5.6 last season), also with 8.9 reb (4 last szn), shooting much better, improved every other stat.

Whats your take? Who do you endorse for the MIP award at this point?

    It is going to be tough because A LOT of players have taken the jump like Cam Thomas, Maxey, Sengun, Naz Reid, and Jalen Johnson. To be fair, lets see how they all do mid-season and then see the impact they have made. But if I were to choose its Cam. Minutes Cam Thomas is an absolute unit, especially for someone who just turned 22 he is on the trajectory to be n All-star I would say

    Put some respect on Shaedon Sharpe’s name!

    Last season as a rookie he was putting up 9.9 PPG, 3 REB, 1.2 AST

    This season so far 19.9 PPG, 5.3 REB, 2.9 AST

    If he continues to improve I could see him becoming a serious contender for the award

    Jalen Smith, Benn Mathurin. Andrew Nembhard, or Nesmith

      Math and Nemb aren’t even the Most Improved Canadians. No bias.

    Maxey, Oubre and Sengun are the other ones that come to mind.

    I don’t even get the parameter for MIP after Ja won. Is Naz Reid in the convo?

    Cam Thomas at this point and it’s not particularly close. Though I doubt these stats will hold up

    Jalen has been amazing. Unfortunately probably not enough of a narrative for MIP unless he can be a true all star caliber player (which is wildly unlikely)

    I wish a player like Jalen had a better chance of getting MIP. The MIP picks have been ridiculous imo. I don’t think a ROTY or someone on that level should be allowed to win a MIP.

    I know there are lots of reasons to hate him, but… Dillion Brooks is shooting really well this year compared to how he shot last year… That wasn’t a jump I was expecting to see.
