On April 10, Beijing time, in the Warriors' defeat of the Spurs, the NBA broadcaster announced the odds of the fastest improving player award of the season, of which the Grizzlies core Morant was far ahead with -1000, the Cavaliers core Garland ranked second, the Spurs new nuclear Murray ranked third, and the Hornets Captain Bridges and the Warriors Poole were ranked fourth or fifth.
The odds for the Fastest Improving Player of the Season are as follows:
Morant (Grizzlies) -1000
Garland (Knight) +1000
Murray (Spurs) +1500
Bridges (Hornets) +3300
Poole (Warrior) +4000
Morant returned after nine injury games, and he lightly took the 21+9 stats to lead the Grizzlies to victory over the Pelicans, especially leading the team to a single quarter blast of 55 points to set a team record. So far this season, Morant has averaged 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game, ranking 8th on the scoring list, an improvement of 8.5 points compared to 19.1 points, 4 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game last season. Morant led the Grizzlies to second in the league, and his personal performance was also extremely outstanding, becoming the number one favorite for the Fastest Improvement Award, so it is no wonder that the odds are -1000 far ahead.
As for the Cavaliers and Spurs' backcourts, Garland and Murray, their outbursts are unexpected, and they are both selected for the All-Star bench this season, and both have led their respective teams to a play-off place, +1000 and +1500 odds, ranking second and third in such odds list.
In addition, Hornets' Bridges has grown rapidly this season and has become one of the hornets' main cores, and is expected to get a big contract renewal, and his odds are +3300. The Warriors' main player Poole only has +4,000 odds, and even though he is still extremely good this season, his performance last season is not bad, so he is less concerned than players such as Morant.
