Chandler Parson from Rockets. He is making a real improvement ! :)

Also:
- Omer Asik
- DeAnder Jordan
- Jrue Holiday

That's my top 4 for MIP.

On the bench: Jamal Crawford

I would say Mayo or Batum. Mayo was thought for dead. Was on the verge of bust status. Suddenly people are thinking maybe if Dirk comes back with the way he has played they can do something.


OJ Mayo for Most Improved and All-Star Selection


how many guards are on an All-Star roster?

Kobe
Paul

are locks

Reverse Candidates: Russell Westbrook, OJ Mayo, James Harden , Kevin Martin, Jamal Crawford,

OJ has a real shot at All-Star if he keeps this up !

Sorry, but China is going to make Lin a starter.

Kirilenko was an All Star
Mayo had 18.5ppg in his rookie year
Dragic played better last year

Top candidate is Harden, from 6th man to All Star and 2nd best SG in the league, that's improvement.

You just ruined your argument. Hayden's figures are down except for points and minutes. He went from barely under 50% fg% to barely over 40% fg%. That is not improvement. That is getting more minutes. OJ's stats are up along with his minutes, but at least he is improving on efficiency.

Eric Bledsoe?

I think he can keep it up.
If CP3 get some kind on injury and misses some time, think Bledsoe will be a lock.

Brandon Jennings won't get credit for it because of the raw stats, but he has turned into a real point guard with decent efficiency, and that has made him a much better player, not just a player who got more minutes - and the results of the Bucks are showing that.

If we're talking about a player being improved and just not getting more minutes/touches I'm leaning towards Deandre Jordan. Guy really seems to have taken a leap up.
"Thibs called back and wanted more picks," said Jorge Sedano. "And Pat Riley, literally, I was told, called him a mother-bleeper and hung up the phone."
