Brandon Ingram wins Most Improved Player

[Voice of Reason]

nah

You must didn't watch many of their games.

Truthfully this award and the 6th man award probably need to be abolished. NBA needs to just adopt the NFL's comeback player of the year award which I guess Ingram still could have possibly won because of the bloodclots. Actually googling it apparently the MIP used to be the comeback player of the year but they removed that in favor of the MIP

why abolish 6th man??

Just admit than you were wrong about Kuz > BI

BI is a good player but I can't say that until I see Kuz with the same opportunity. At the moment it's BI>Kuz but its not definitive.

I saw the ones where he was a huge liability on defense.


If I’m starting a team & want to win, I’ll take BI.

if I want to sell jerseys and tickets I’m taking Zion.

You're taking BI over Zion




Damn breh that might be the worst take off all time

Assuming both stay healthy Zion has way more upside and immediate impact

Why didn’t kuz step up like BI did last year when everything was equal...

He had a fine year.
No problems with Ingram taking the award, though I wouldn't have had a problem with Adebayo winning it.

It is somewhat unfair to credit or blame any 1 player for an entire team's successes or failures. But it is worth noting that the Pelicans were largely irrelevant in spite of Ingram's offensive gifts.

Lukas improvement was greater

 

[Paper Boi]

when it's all said and done i predict he will have a better career than Zion.

why abolish 6th man??

Because it's a weird award that just means a person didn't start. But so many "6th man" winners play 30+ minutes and either lead their team in minutes played or in the top 3. For example this year Dennis Schroeder will likely win it yet he's played more MPG (31) than Giannis (30.9) who is likely to win the MVP.
One of the times Lou Will won it I think he led his team in minutes played at around 33mpg. And he was easily the Clippers best and most important player.

Next year it’s Devonte...

how? if he didn't win it this year, what makes you think he can put up even better numbers to be in the running next year? i think his numbers will be worse actually

 

[Ces1ne?]

Unpopular opinion but a top 5 pick shouldn't qualify until at least their fifth season as they already have built in all-star - superstar expectations. I mean, it's not a wide leap in logic. We should expect sophomores to become better in their third season and more so in their fourth season and so on and so forth as they get more minutes and greater role on the team. So I don't think we should reward young players with the MIP award just because they made good on their initial expectations. Give them their own award.

....the “Congratulations, you did what you were supposed to” award???
