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?

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

The N.B.A.’s specific instructions in this category read as follows: “This award is designed to honor an up-and-coming player who has made a dramatic improvement from the previous season or seasons. It is not intended to be given to a player who has made a ‘comeback.’ ”https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/09/sports/2018-19-nba-awards-stein.html
