Which of these players do you think will be Orlando's Most Improved Player next season?
Please, give the reasons why to your votes.

Voted Hampton but I think it could be him or Mo.

I think RJ will see a big uptick in usage so statistically he might make a big jump. Mo could go either way, but I have a feeling that Mosley's positive, infectious energy will be really good for him. He might still suck, but I think he's going to be a lot more motivated this year.

I believe in Mo. This is his year to prove himself. Enough excuses, time for the man to go to work.

Mo has the biggest chance. I think he averages over 20 mpg and near a double double.

With the caveat that he'll be splitting minutes with JI and F Wagner and maybe even M Wagner, i think Chuma is a likely candidate for a big year that gets him noticed. He's the template for what Mosley wants to do and he's already shown glimpses of decent starter potential.

I think Chuma. Players dont return to 100% form first year after injury. He also showed some off the dribble game which can be a path to huge improvement.

I have no idea who it will be. I HOPE its RJ. i liked the way he ended the season last year and hope he can take the next step forward, that the game slows down a little for him. Hopefully he gets with Harris while he is here and picks up any defensive habits Harris can show him (just avoid the shooting yips).

I have mixed feelings about it. O the one hand I believe RJ will be. I don't really know why but I see the fire in his eyes. I see he wants to prove everyone who passed on him (particularly Denver that didn't give him a chance) what he's capable of. + he absolutely has the talent and skills to be an important player in the league.
On the other hand, I also want Mo to be our MIP. We all (he and we as fans) deserve to be able to establish a lottery draft selection as one of our core players.

To me, Chuma is as talented as RJ but I don't feel that "redemption" and fire on him. I wish he proves me wrong because he is talented as hell.

The positive part is that there are many young talented players who could shine. We haven't seen this in years.

I'm all in on RJ next season.

I don't know if its MIP but I believe JI will be ready for the season and lead this team not only on the defensive end but in scoring! He is our best player and in my opinion has only scratched the surface on what he can be.

Moe is a possibility. I think we found something in using him as a big PF, like a Olynyk. Teams in the past have always played him at center.

RJ or Mo for me.

RJ Hampton. A lot of talent, he just was a 19 year old rookie who showed glimpses, but was overmatched in areas last year (like most rookies), the sky is the limit for this kid. Cole and Bamba also pretty good bets.

I could see JI winning NBA's MIP player if he is able to stay healthy and continue or progess as a menace on defense. Or Fultz if he was able to show he can be a league average starting PG (like ranked 15, which would be pretty great company)

Our squad has so many questions and potential, anybody could exceed expectations and be in the running.

When we say MIP... I assume that means that even if JI is one of the candidates for DPOY in the NBA that doesn't count right? Because if it is, then JI has my vote for it.

I guess it doesn't count. For what we know JI is capable of, I guess the only way he becomes the MIP on this team is if he finishes the season with 20ppg and 10+ rpg or something like that.

Don’t overthink the most obvious and clear answer, the only player worth anything on the Magic right now, Jonathan Isaac.

The forums here are in for a rude awakening from all of the JI-hating and underestimating.

Voted WCJ, and I have no **** clue why. Honestly hoping he sees that the job is his for taking and shows out. You can tell he didn’t like his time in Chicago at all with the shade he throws around.

I will say RJ, he plays like he has something to prove.
