There's a few obvious candidates from the sports bookies Sexton SGA Zion KPJ MPJ Lavine JJJ Any flyers that we can look back on in 6 months and think how did we miss them?
How is Sexton a candidate? He averaged 24 ppg last year. Zion? SGA? Lavine? Huh? Lol, is this list actually real?
To be completely honest with you, I wasn't quite sure either. This list wasn't really subjective, more of a copy and paste from a sports betting aggregate site. https://www.sportsbettingdime.com/nba/most-improved-player-odds/ Maybe this is an opportunity for you to place a few sneaky ones on if these candidates are outrageous?
Some dudes off the top of my dome Jordan Poole Rob Williams Miles/Mikal Bridges Aichuwa Herro Lonzo/Lamelo Ball Haliburton Keldon Johnson Pat Williams Melton Bane Overall a lot of 2nd/3rd-year guys come to mind that. I won't name all of them because there are too many, you just never know when some random mf like Avdija or Kira Lewis will bust out in year 2, there's bound to be somebody.
I think the Gaffney kid on Wizards gonna make some noise.. He getting starters minutes... I think 18/10 is a possibility
I do like Dan Gafford as a MIP candidate, but the hard part is can the Wizards win to support his case? If Beal packs it in, game over.
Ben Simmons Lol, a so called All Star, Rookie of the Year, winning Most Improved Player Every Year Ben Simmons can win the MIP if he has a 3 point shot. He doesn't really Love and Sacrifice for the Game.
