With the deepening of the new season of the NBA, now most of the teams in the league have played about 70 games, it can be said that the NBA playoffs are getting closer and closer to everyone, generally speaking, in addition to considering the rankings in the regular season, the other most interesting is the major awards, for now, the MVP competition is fierce, the emperor and Jokic are fiercely competitive, the best defensive players Alphabet Brother and Gobert are difficult to distinguish, others like the best manager, the sixth person, everyone also knows, But the fastest improving player is probably the hardest prize to choose this season, because too many young players have played wonderful performances, and for now all five have a chance.
Garland, up nearly four points, was named an All-Star
Garland is now the cavaliers' star, before this season he was still Sexton's little brother, but this season Sexton was injured, and the team had no intention of making Sexton, who has limited organizational ability, become the core of the team, fortunately he performed well, averaging 21.2 points, 4 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.2 steals per game this season, shooting 46.8% from the field and 37.7% from three-point range.
Last season's Garland averaged 17.4 points, 2.4 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 1.2 steals, 45% shooting percentage, 39% shooting rate from three points, compared to Garland's various statistics have almost improved, and the overall shooting rate has also improved, after getting the ball, Garland led the team into the top six positions in the division, and he was also selected as an All-Star this season, and entered the All-Star in the third year of his career, which is also very good.
The main reason why Garland can enter the selection of the fastest improving player may not only be that he has improved by three points per game, he has improved in terms of team leadership ability, organizational tandem, etc., the key is also selected as an All-Star, Randall, who won the best progressive player last season, his average score per game has improved by almost 4 points, but with the team record and All-Star, he has finally become the fastest improving player, this award also needs fame, Garland is very promising.
Hiro, up nearly 6 points, is it expected to double harvest?
Tyler Hilo, this season Thaleshiro can win the best sixth man believe there is no big doubt, looking at the top sixth person in the league, whether it is Clarkson or Harrell, this season's performance is not as good as Hiro's, to be honest I think Spollstra is intentional to let Hiro take the best sixth man, he can average 16 points per game in the rookie season playoffs, this level of players playing sixth man is completely a dimensionality reduction blow! This season, Hiro averaged 21 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 39.3 percent from three-point range.
After a sixth man comes on the field, the team starts feed him the ball, which is the core of the Heat, you say Spollstra, this is not a dimensionality reduction strike What is it? Last season's Hiro encountered a rookie wall, played poorly, otherwise according to his talent may not be able to win this award at all, last season Hiro averaged 15.1 points, 5 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game, shooting 44% from the field, 36% from three-point range, and rose nearly 6 points this season, which is very good.
Hiro has always been very vocal, this player has been in the league since the beginning of the attention, after all, the summer league showed a superb performance, while the Thunder also took Paul for Hiro was rejected, coupled with the rookie season in the playoffs outstanding performance, his fame is very high, although the rise of 6 points is not too much, but the original alphabet brother 16-17 season compared to last season rose 5 points to win the fastest improvement player, so Hiro is also very promising.
Bridges, up 7.3 points
The Hornets are now the number one scorer, can be inside and out, the ability to kill is excellent, Bridges has the potential to grow into a top forward in the future, and now the Hornets have begun to build a team around him and the three-goal, for which former All-Stars like Hayward have to give up the ball for him, which is why Bridges can play well this season, This season Bridges can average 20 points, 7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1 steal 0.9 blocks per game, shooting 48.5% from the field and 32% from three-point range.
Last season's Bridges has not been corrected as the core of the team, but his impact is great, coupled with the small defensive pressure at the time, which also makes him very efficient, averaging 12.7 points, 6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks, shooting 50.3% from the field and 40% from three-point range. Bridges' draft template that year was Iguodala, and his athleticism was also very explosive, and friends who watched his game knew that he hoped that the young man would be able to reach the height of Iguodala in the future.
Although Bridges is not as big as the previous two in fame, but the lad has gradually played a famous, in addition, his rising score is more than Hiro and Garland, which is his advantage, although Bridges has the opportunity to become the fastest improving player, but I am not optimistic that he can win this honor, fame is part of it, the key to the two young people below, compared to Bridges' progress is more obvious, the promotion is more fierce, let's take a look at it!
Bain, up 8.7 points
Bane was able to play out this season to be honest thanks to the Bucks, if it were not for the Bucks traded to get Grayson Allen, it is estimated that Bane still will not get a chance this season, but the opportunity is always left to those who are prepared, Bane can grow to this step today, which is inseparable from his personal efforts, because it is an older draft, Bane is very clear about his positioning, that is, 3D, so after entering the starting team with Morant this season, the performance is very stable, He averaged 17.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game, shooting 45.4 percent from the field and 42 percent from three-point range.
Last season's Bane was still a team bench, he simply did not get so many opportunities now, but the performance of 9.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, but at that time, Bain's projection was very stable, shooting 47% from the field and 43% from three-point range, and The good thing about Bane was that he not only had strong shooting ability, but also the top level of the league in defense, and this older second-year player had the hope of becoming a star in the future to get the top salary.
In Morant's absence, Bain will become the team's first scoring core, and from here it can also be seen that the manager has trusted him, from a nameless role player to the team's second-in-command level, such an promotion is also expected to increase the possibility of Bain being selected as the best progressive player, Bain became the 30th pick in the draft that year In addition to the older draft, his short arm is also the main problem, but he is active enough, which also makes up for some of his shortcomings in the defensive end.
Maxi, up nearly 10 points!
Dubbed the real "West Emperor" by many 76ers fans, Maxi actually showed a good offensive ability to hold the ball in his rookie season, but because of Simmons, he did not get too many opportunities to get ahead, but then Simmons refused to play and let Maxie seize the opportunity, and now even if Harden comes, Maxie still has plenty of playing time, and even said that it is the third core of the team, this season can average 17.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals, shooting 48.3%, The three-point shooting rate of 41.2% is very good.
Last season's Maxi only averaged 8 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2 assists per game, shooting 46% from the field and 30% from three-point range, the main reason why Maxi played last season was that he got too little playing time, averaging only 15 minutes per game, and his data improved significantly after getting more playing time this season, but although his three-point shooting was more accurate than last season, his three-point production was not high, which also showed that three-pointers were not a weapon he was very good at.
For now, I think Maxie is the most promising to win the fastest improving player award, looking at the fastest improving players in the past few years, no one except CJ has improved faster than Maxie, and CJ was in a similar situation with Maxie that season, directly from the bench to the core, getting the fastest improving player that season improved by 14 points, and Maxie is still only three or four in charge, in fact, it has always been, if promoted to the status of the second boss, maybe his performance will be better.
