<div class="quote_poster">Quoting the MDE:</div><div class="quote_post">Flip Murray has been sensational. If he keeps this up, he should be the Most Improved Player. The big factor is IF.</div> Yea, I'm actually going to change my mind on this one. I'm going to have to go with Randolph. I think he can keep up his consistent numbers, while for Flip, his time of scoring may come to end when Ray Allen is back, and if if he doesn't contribute in other category's I don't believe he will win the award.
Right NOW as of right NOW its flip, but s the season moves on, I wanna see if he gets better WITH Ray Allen.
Eh, well, picking Erick Dampier is suspect, since I'm not sure if before he was really worse than he is now. He was a lottery pick by the Pacers, a guy Larry Bird called 'the future' of the franchise. Of course, he traded away the future for the present and Chris Mullen, but that's another story. Dampier has played well through his career, but since his first season in Golden State he's split time with Adonal Foyle at center, almost fifty-fifty. The past few years he's also had bruising power forwards, guys like Danny Fortson and Troy Murphy, who grab rebounds like they're going out of style. This year, obviously he has neither another center to split time with nor a power forward to hog the rebounds. Both more minutes and more opportunities have added to Dampier's improvement. It's not like suddenly he's dominating people. I like the way he's playing, but we have to put him in the same boat with Zach and Flip, the only boat: that of players who made significant numerical improvements over anything they've ever done before.
