PF Derek Strong

He's turned into a solid starting 4 in the league with his great rebounding. This year he was thrust into a starting role and has thrived. He's only played in 9 more minutes per game than last season but his stats are solid.

Last Year: 23 Minutes / 8 Points / 6 Rebounds / 50% FG / 15.7 PER
This Year: 32 Minutes / 14 Points / 9 Rebounds / 56% FG / 18.9 PER

Dont know much about anyone elses' candidates but I think Derek deserves a mention.

Ceballos made the leap again this year.

18.7 ppg to 23.3 and FG% went up doing it so it wasn't volume.
7.4 Rebounds per game
PPS has shot up to 1.50
EWA up from 14 to 19.
All this in only 1.5 more mpg.

While our season as a whole hasn't been roses and daisies, we have had one nice bright spot on our team.

He's not blowing up the stat sheet, but each and every year he's progressed and gotten better. His #s jumped despite his minutes remaining the same. Is he the most improved player? That's for you to decide, but he's Milwaukee's MIP.

Just a reminder on voting rules here as well...

•Most Improved Player: you will vote for 3 options, clearly labelled #1, #2, and #3. The #1 option will receive 5pts, #2 option will receive 3pts, and #3 option will receive 1pt. The player with the most points in the end wins the award.

•Please remember to vote for who deserves this award and be as unbiased as possible. To ensure this, you are allowed to vote for your own player/yourself, but only as a #2 or #3 option.

Pooh Richards led the league in assists and tied for most assists in a game this season and had 2 games with the second highest.

Mike Iuzollino hands down for me. He's playing out of position and improved in almost every area while averaging the same minutes as last season. I also like Derk Strong and (Glen Rice not Bryan Stith; brain fart); Ceballos would get my vote if he wasn't already a potential superstar in the making. Mike built his way from the ground on up into a pretty productive player.
