Well, considering our boy got snubbed for the all-star game, we knew he was the most deserving for this award.

Turk has been a beast.

That's the man I (and RealGM) voted for!

Couldn't be more deserving.

For me it was about Kaman or him, so deserved award.
What about the other ones, who finished in the first 5 places? Kamen and Calderon should be there.

This award generally goes to 2nd or 3rd year players, so it's a breathe of fresh air to see a "veteran" step up his game. He just turned 29 a month ago, so he still has room for growth. Hedo is a late bloomer.

Hedo needs to share the award with SVG. After 8 years in the league, someone finally figured out how to use correctly. I'm happy for Turk, well deserved award

he is not the right person because he does not fit the criteria for the award. the ballot clearly specifies that it has to be an "up and comming" player not a sophmore or a veteran.

with that said he did improve the most of all the players imo.

Good to see this award go to a guy thats had as so-so NBA career and then just blow up this season. Better than it going to guys who just get more playing time.

why is that "too" bad? that's a blessing...and I will take your attempted insult as a compliment....They're #'s are pretty comparable, and Rashard has been consistent all season...we wouldn't be where we are if it wasn't for Rashard...

the $$$ game is played out, I don't really care how much he cost, I'm not footing the bill...I do know that we're close to making the 2nd round...works for me...
