What Koolaid are you all on? Avery Bradley for sure

_______________
Bradley’s rise is no less remarkable. He played only 162 undistinguished minutes last season as a rookie. He took 67 shots, missed 44 of them and scored almost half his points in a 20-point outburst on the season’s final day in a glorified exhibition against the Knicks. He had more turnovers (16) than assists (12) and a Player Efficiency Rating (PER) of 2.2.
In his second season, Bradley has played more than 1,200 minutes and is shooting better than 50 percent from the floor and 44 percent from 3-point range. His defense has been otherworldly at times and since his surprise insertion into the starting lineup on March 25, the Celtics had gone 12-5 and moved from the back of the pack in the Eastern Conference playoff race to the top of the Atlantic Division.
They are more than five points tougher on defense when Bradley is on the court than when he’s off and the new-look starting lineup is a rather absurd 18.72 points better than the opposition per 100 possessions. His backdoor cuts have become a prominent feature of their offensive sets – something he developed during the year -- and his suddenly reliable 3-point shooting has been nothing short of a revelation. (Since replacing Ray Allen as a starter, Bradley has made 18-of-30 shots from behind the arc).

Ilyasova played really great this year, at a level he showed in Europe. Love his soft touch on the perimeter and his propensity to go hard to the boards
Hibbert became an All-Star, so I think he deserves it. Paul George had also a stunning sophomore season, and the Pacers are the 5th best team in the league
Don't forget Kyle Lowry or Goran Dragic, they were phenomenal for the Rockets.
Lawson could be a nice pick too
You can't consider Parker as the most improved, but simply as the best point guard during the regular season, hands down, and a top 3 MVP candidate. Seeing him when he was back in France because of the general lock-out, I never thought that he'll reach such a level
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 ?
