Most Improved Player candidates
- Deni Avdija (54 games)
- Michael Porter Jr. (52 games)
- Jordan Miller (49 games)
All things considered, Portland Trail Blazers forward Deni Avdija has risen above circumstance so far as his station in the league. At one point, the former top-10 pick was heading towards relative irrelevancy. Now, he’s a (somewhat) freshly-minted first-time All-Star. Brooklyn Nets forward Michael Porter Jr. was once the third and sometimes fourth option on the Denver Nuggets. Though their modes of scoring have stark contrasts has also been the No. 1 option for his team. Los Angeles Clippers wing Jordan Miller is a late-addition dark horse but he’s excelled during his team’s turaround, to the point he got a new contract.
