Who will win the Most Improved Player Award?

I say either Anthony Morrow or Anthony Randolph

Me too, and I think Oden will be in the mix.

Do your picks have anything to do with the fact that they are on the Warriors?

Trevor Ariza

I hope so I really don't want him to be a bust. He is a good doode

Courtney Lee. Randolph has a legit chance, but not Morrow. Morrow won't get enough minutes. But I think it will be Lee because he is experienced already and is moving from a great team to a team who needs scorers. Him playing with Harris will complement well and I see him averaging between 18 and 20 points next season to go with 4 boards and 4 assists.

Okay I need to stop being biased sorry.

Raza, you have to admit Randolph is a candidate after his off-season and how average he was last season. I don't think Morrow is, but if the Warriors decided to give him 36 minutes he would average 18-20 points and be in contention. I think the best choices are Randolph, Lee, and maybe Rodney Stuckey.

I predict that Oden will have a breakout season and win MIP.
Possibly Jose Calderon too if he can stay healthy the whole season and have a really good season.

What did he do this offseason?

Andrew Bynum will have a breakout Year next year, averaging 17 ppg 13 RBG and 2 BPG
ic him improving from last seasons NBA Finals slump and winning the Most improved Player Award

KB24: ...no

Anthony Randolph has gained pounds and look at his stats in summer league.

The Summer League means nothing. It's just rookies and complete NBA scrubs.

He has been working to put on muscle and been in the gym since the season ended. He hasn't taken a break. He's impressed so much that he got a late addition to the Olympic camp at the end of summer league and all lot of people around the league are starting to talk about him as a future franchise player.

Its not just his stats and dominance at summer league that has impressed. Hes been working out with new trainers to improve his jump shot and rebounding, two things he struggled with last year. Hes gone out and improved a lot, and all the scouts are noticing.

West Coast knows!

I actually think Monta Ellis can win too because he got injured and that would be his second time!

Raza yes.....LOL andrew will win it man trust me he will improve alot this of season

Well if he's been working hard, then of course he can win it.

I just thought it wasn't a coincidence Johnny Bravo's two choices were both Warrior players haha

In my opinion I think it will be Trevor Ariza or Courtney Lee

Neither did I. I wouldn't really give Morrow any chance at all, or Monta. My favorite to win it is still Courtney Lee, but it would be cool if AR did.

It noticed it was Bias as soon as i read seen the Players names...and thats when i decided that neither of them will win it because Andrew Bynum will improve more and caputure the minds and hearts of Laker fans and NBA Fans,

I think Anthony Randolph has to be a favorite. He didn't even play in the rookie game last year. He started to turn it on at the end of last season when he finally got some PT. Like mentioned, he's been working out like a madman and has put a few lbs on. He just needs to not try and do too much and he'll have a stellar year.

Oden and Bynum both have a great shot. If either of those guys can stay healthy for an entire season, they will be in the running. I'll be surprised if either actually does, but they are both serious contenders. Bynum might have to fight for shots on that team, but if he can play 80 games, give him the award.

Other guys I like are Eric Gordon and Russell Westbrook. Westbrook gets better and better each time I see him play going back to his UCLA days.

I love this. 50% of the people to comment on this topic are Warrior fans. Great.

Courtney Lee FTW!

Seriously. It feels weird being a majority for once. At the end of last season on YA, I felt like I was drowning in a sea of Lakers fans. I think we should try and recruit some more W's fans to keep things even.

Miles is the only one I can think of on YA that isn't here.
