All the media said they'd give DPOY to Rudy when the season ended so won't be shocked if that happens again though I don't agree

Luka was already considered “too good” for an award like MIP after last year, regardless of the increase in numbers

The case for Luka Doncic as Most Improved Player
Luka Doncic's Most Valuable Player campaign has obscured a bid for an award that fits him even better: Most Improved Player.

Mip's usually given to more perceptively limited players, but u can make a case for Luka almost as good as any other

I forgot about COTY. Agreed on Nurse.
Luka not getting MIP. MIP generally gets awarded to guys who make a big jump, not guys who take an expected progression.

So Luka was expected to be Top 10/possible MVP candidate in his 2nd year? That’s natural progression?
People in THIS thread was saying he was not Top 10 up until like Christmas

Maximus Meridius
is not “people” And, yes, Luka’s second year is what people expected based on his 1st year.

If the NBA Season Is Over, Who Deserves Most Improved Player?
The league’s most abstract award also features its toughest decision this season. While you can make a compelling case for a number of rising stars, there’s one that took too substantial of a leap to ignore.

A super team that’s created in Orlando.... I mainly think of something involving Giannis/Luka...
Other “stars” getting together don’t really seem like a huge deal.

Kanter has always been a legit dude. Among all the NBA players he probably gave up the most for his role in activism .Enes Kanter interview on the new Simmons pod is really good. Talks about the Cs, his time in OKC, how the C position has changed, social justice, etc. Seems like a genuinely good dude. Can’t believe folks in here were saying he’d be a locker room cancer. He’s been the furthest thing
The stuff with Turkey is really sad though man. Says Ilyasova/Osman/Korkmaz won’t even speak to him. Can’t talk to his own family. Hedo, who he idolized growing up and was originally cool with him now does nothing but talk **** about him. Really sucks.

No one is denying that Luka made a leap this year. However, at 19 he put up 21/8/6. Yes, 28/9/9 with a 10+ improvement in PER is phenomenal but the improvements that Bam and BI made, similar to the one Pascal took last year, better fit narrative for and nature of the award.
