    Also Iggy gotta be DPOY right now. Philly most efficient defense in the league with no real post defenders. You don't see that often and it's a tribute to Iggy's ridiculous defense.

    I think Ryan Anderson should win most improved.

    Also, Ricky Rubio is one of the most overrated players in the NBA.

    I like most of your rankings though.

    Anderson is having a career year. But last year was a previous career year at the time. Can't be most improved when he was already quite good. Quietly good, but he's been good.

    I think RR lost all his hype to the Lin media machine. he's a quality player & deserves recognition for how hot he started.

    Hibbert is same as RA. great year, but he was very good previously.

    George and Teague took huge leaps in performance, have gained increasing roles. George is a crunch-time go-to player now after just being a rotation guy. Teague went from subpar backup to running the show on a winning team

    DPOY: I like Bron and Iggy over Chandler

    Most declined=Lamar Odom

    David Lee deserves some consideration on the 6th man of other team's offense.

    Most improved should be a tough selection, but if Lin can go 16/8 he's got it. Anderson is a good pick. Greg Monroe deserves a mention, as does James Harden. Had he not missed a month, Gallo would be my pick.

    I would assume its much more difficult to go from a solid player to a borderline all-star than it is to go from a complete random to a solid player. Ryan Anderson has a higher PER increase than both Teague and George and it came at a higher level of play. If Jeremy Lin continues exactly what he has done over the last 12 games for the rest of the season he will very likely win it. But with his game against Miami and his declining numbers overall I'm not convinced it will.

    there's a difference in MIP from previously not as good to previously underrated.....

    Lee is definitely a starter on the all-terrible defense team. Curry's a bit worse.

    I completely overlooked Lamar. My only regret so far

    no love for Doug Collins for COY?

    didn't Wallace already announce he's done after this year? That should be gold worthy, unless you're expecting the other 2 to retire mid season

    whoa there slick. Currently George and crunch time\go to player dont belong in a sentence. Hibberts game has grown tremendously from last year, although I do agree he was "good" last year

    i was just kind of saying who should be done...

    my view is that collins is a very good coach..but that roster should win games, especially with their schedule. you dont get credit for holding serve imo. I think the spurs, wolves, and mavs are vastly outperforming what their rosters should be expected to.

    LOL im obv just in here homering up because that is a rare opportunity for a twolves fan but you already appear to have a severe bias against rubio because he is nowhere near as overrated as you act like he is bro.

    Lin's #'s will definitely go down as will his minutes decrease and teams adjust. He is a good player with a future in the NBA but wouldn't be shocking to see Baron Davis become the starter, especially if he keeps turning the ball over at such a high rate .
