As the regular season draws to a close, the final attribution of the major awards has become a hot topic of discussion in the media and fans. Like the regular season MVP, the competition for the fastest improving player this season is fierce, with the Grizzlies' two big players Morant and Bain both being award-winning favourites, and Hornets forward Bridges being seen as having a chance to win. But the Warriors forward insisted that his younger brother Jordan Poole deserved the award.
After today's victory over the Spurs, Green made his point in an interview with the media: "Ja Morant is the MVP candidate, but Jordan Poole is the fastest improving player. ”
Green's support for Poole is definitely not without reason, the young guard under 23 years old has made great progress this season, averaging 18.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4 assists in 74 games, shooting 45.4% from the field and 36.3% from three-point range, while last season, he averaged only 12 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game, shooting 43% from the field and 35% from three-point range. It can be said that Poole's progress is not only reflected in quantity, but also in quality.
Since Curry was injured, Poole has made even more amazing progress. In the last 20 games, he has averaged 24.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, shooting 47.4 percent overall and 41.8 percent from three-point range, averaging 4.1 three-pointers per game.
