Green for most improved player?

Dragic. But we all know Lin will win.

I bet it's Lin, but it should be Ryan Anderson (everyone should have seen Gollum Dragic coming).

Anderson is an overrated piece of crap.

Bynum.

Now if maturity level improvement is part of the equation, please scratch.

Although, I don't know what the EXACT criteria are, either. :rolleyes

He didnt keep up in this tempo and quickly had really bad games.

If you take a look at Goran Dragic, he puts awesome stats as a starter constantly. He's been putting up around 20 points (with above average shooting %) and 7, 8 or even more assists from the day he became a starter.

But I expect Lin to win it anyways, because he is Asian and we know how important that would be... smh.

Well Lin played in 26 games from when the Linsanity started and his stats are pretty good. It's not just 5 games. In that 26 games he was scoring 18,5 pts & 7,6 assists. Yes he had 4,5 TO's but Goran is also a TO machine. Dragič since Lowry went down is a 18,7 pts & 8,3 ast. guy which is great. But the problem is that this award is the most improved player, so you look a season back and compare it to this season, and Lin was pretty much nothing last year while Goran was a solid bench player.
I'd love to see Goran win it and he deserves but I think it won't hapen.

Props to Danny though. The production he's put in this year has been essential

My buddy who's a Duke fan would be pissed if he knew how good Danny Green really is now lol. :lol

Many sports writers know him as Daniel Green because that's how he's listed in the box scores.

Lin is taking this award, because NBA is rigged

It's obvious that it's going to be Lin. He went from a 0 point 0 assist 0 rebound to around 14 pts, 6-7 assists.

It's not that he's improved, but he thrived in Dantoni's system and was actually givena chance.
