FWIW: Tyrese Maxey is the first player to win MIP having averaged 20 ppg in the previous season. So Most Improved Player After Being Pretty Good Already (MIPABPGA)?

@hoopshype Because he went from.top 75 player to top 25
@hoopshype Should create a new award to separate the Maxey-type MIP’s from the White-type MIP’s. Basically two entirely different category of development imo. Call one the ‘Rising Star’ award or something
@hoopshype I think the Embiid injury helped with the narrative on this one, it allowed Maxey to shine as a true #1 and pushed him over the hump
