Who will be our Most Improved Player?

Who will be our most improved player?

My guess is Millsap. I think he's going to go from a scrappy defender we plug in to a guy whose three point shot has become respectable (34%) and can score a bit. A guy who doesn't make mistakes and as we know, works his *** off. He'll be our new Wes and Demarre.
 
My heart wants Burks to become a higher-volume and higher percentage (36%+) from 3, a improved defender and better at finding the open man on his drives.

My head says Burke will become respectable as he grows to accept his limitations, become a reliable spot-up shooter off Hayward PNR, and becomes a solid backup.

Voted Burke, but mostly because he is coming from a lower baseline performance.

I was going to vote Millsap but then I imagined Trey Burke with a better shot due to the fact he becomes 'pass first'. One can always dream....

I really think Hood is going to surprise of not outright shock everyone this year. I think we'll see improvement in a few players but I think Hood had the potential to make a real jump and take the league by storm. I would have picked gobert but I think we already have a general idea of what he's about.
 
Burke can shock more people if can "improve". Its his starting job to lose. I believe he will put it together this year.
 
Actually, if I could revote, I would vote for Hood.

His overall numbers were pretty meh so he will look like he improved a lot if he just plays like he did after the All-Star break.

This.

And my gut tells me he will improve beyond that. The numbers difference could be staggering year over year.

Shock and awe.
 
I vote Gobert. I know we already think highly of him, but I think he'll solidify his place as one of the greatest players in the league this year. The entire NBA will take notice and acknowledge his greatness.

It will be pretty hard for him to improve defensively since he already ranked as one of the top defenders in the NBA.

His improvement will have to come from the offensive end. From what I've seen from him France, I wouldn't expect any big difference. That could be because France doesn't want him doing anything out of his already proven skill set, but I would expect Rudy's improvement to be much more marginal this year.
 
I'm voting Hood as I think he will explode like Gobert did in his second year. I expect them all to improve but it'll go Hood than Burks than Gobert/Favors than Burke/Hayward.

Me too.

If we're voting on the basis of the entire portion of last season, then definitely Hood. He was tentative and inconsistent before he got hurt. But the last two months were terrific. SO if he just plays like he did the latter part of the year, is that considered improvement?

I'm hoping Burke will be in the discussion simply because he can't get much worse. Can he?

And as much as I love Rudy, he hasn't shown much offense in the FIBA games. TBH, I think gaining strength was more important. Just hanging around the rim should net him 12/15/3.
 
I voted for Hood without first seeing what the results are and am quite surprised most people think the same way.


In March he was in the starting lineup 20 times and Hood scored over 17 points 9 times:

17 points
20 points
24 points
19 points
17 points
25 points
20 points
18 points
21 points


He's the real deal.

Those stats show his ability and potential. And he makes everything look so easy.
 
I wonder who the last Jazz rookie was to put up numbers like that over one month?
