Who is the most improved player

[tagged]

There been plenty of hype in this short season.
I think these guys are having their best season. All would be All Stars for years to come if Gortat was from the USA.
Bynum and Parker went from rock solid players to having their names put up in MVP talk. Lin went from bench to All Star in a game and Gortat has been a savour in Pheonix.
Who will win ?

Didn't even play since 08-09 and averaged: (in 10 minutes per)
5.2pts, 0.1blks, 0.3 stls, 0.4asts, 1.4 rebs

compared to 11-12 (in 25 min per game)
13.2pts, 0.6blks, 0.9stls, 1.1asts, 3.3rebs


Lin was a huger improver and will get a let of votes simply because of the media coverage he received

If you look at his numbers as stat per minute on both years he hasn't improved.

 

[Billyhoyle]

the difference however is that he hasn't played in 2 years, remember no team wanted him.

If you use basketball reference, who break it down per 36 (who knows why 36 and not 48)
Lin is the only one who has made significant improvement, the others output has pretty much stayed the same:

I like the Gortat option

 

[drob50]

Yeah, I like Gortat and Green!

But I am leaning towards Greg Monroe or possibly Roy Hibbert

 

[WhiteyTheCelticsFan]

I think it will be Lin because of all the media attention

Monroe Has had a Pretty Big Season this Year

Ersan Ilyasova, Milwaukee
NBA.com's choice

 

[Harsha_12]

Jarret Jack has had a good year

 

[brentus777]

Yeah I couldn't go past ilyasova

 

[Harsha_12]

I just realise i Forgot about Ryan Anderson!

He definitely Deserves it!

 

[exzibit3]

Lin shouldn't win it simply because he hasn't played half of the season. I think it's likely gerald green to win it because besides stats, it's a feel good story about making a comeback and the NBA loves that sort of stuff.

 

[ozballer23]

Jordan Crawford for me!

Lin leads NBA poll on NBA dot com.

 

[Mully]

Ryan Anderson for me as well.

 

[lukesicari]

Has to be Ilyasova

 

[lilreddevil]

If Rose can't be in contention for MVP, how is Lin in contention for this...?

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Why the hell is Lin leading this poll haha

I forgot about Ersan, he killed it this year!

Ersan has been a standout for the Bucks once bogut got injured and if Skiles had half a brain he would of made better use of his accuracy (near 50% FG & 45% 3pt) but sadly he only averages about 10 shots a game. Ersan will be a free agent at the end of the season, hopefully he is picked up by a coach that sees value in the effort and accuracy he brings.
