Is the most improved player in the NBA? He had 32 points and 11 rebounds in a win last week. He is playing pretty well Golden State.Any comments?
No, he's had a few incredible games, but he's just been too inconsistant. The night after that 32/11 game I think he put up 7 and 1. He's impressed me though. The Warriors are good fit for him and he's really been earning his playing time from Don Nelson, but like I said, simply too inconsistant to be MIP worthy.
Probably JR Smith thus far, but a lot of things can still change, so who knows. Two other guys, who are also on the Warriors and I would definitely consider are Monta Ellis and Andris Biedrins. Like I said though way too early still.

How does not ONE person name Kevin Martin? His scoring has been off the wall this year. He increased his scoring average by 11 points.
