NBA Most Improved Player Trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

*Since its inception in the 85-86 season, 37 players have won the Most Improved Player Award, and no player has won the award twice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pascal Siakam (2018-19) is the only player to win a championship in the same season as winning a MIP and Giannis Antetokounmpo (2016-17) is the only player to win and NBA Finals MVP. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most NBA awards, a player must play 65 games to win the MIP, and a player must play 20+ minutes to be credited with a game played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2024-25 NBA Most Improved Player Prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like the Defensive Player of the Year award, Victor Wembanyama is the favorite to win the MIP, but he’s already well established after winning Rookie of the Year and his expectations are sky high. I see a few players with better value, so we’ll split our bet between them for this award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scottie Barnes dealt with a sophomore slump in 2023 after winning Rookie of the Year in 2022. But he bounced back in a big way last season with an average of 19.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting a career high 34.1% from three-point land and 78.1% from the free-throw line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Raptors traded away Pascal Siakam & OG Anunoby last season and signed Barnes to 5-year mega-deal worth over $200 million dollars in the offseason which are clear signs that he is the cornerstone player for the franchise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barnes has all the tools to be a star in the league including playmaking, defense, size & & versatility and he will have the opportunity to take the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2024-25 NBA Defensive Player of the Year Prediction: Scottie Barnes +1800 DK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
