The Mavericks’ commentators brought up an interesting point: should Dënniß ßchrööder be considered for the Most Improved Player award?
Short answer: No.
Long Answer: No, because MIP shouldn’t ever be awarded to a second year player, since it is expected that many rookies will improve drastically, especially young ones with refined skill sets like ßchrööder.
Longer Answer: Maybe, because the NBA apparently has a huge hardon for the Hawks and appear willing to bestow any honor on any desired player of that team, regardless of the presence of worthier candidates or common sense.
