Jordan Poole should be a top candidate for Most Improved in the league this year

The Warriors had a lot of surprises last season. From Steph Curry going nuclear at age 32, to two last-second losses against the Lakers and Grizzlies during the play-in games, few things were as widely-shocking as the emergence of Jordan Poole. After struggling for his first few seasons in the league, the third-year pick out of Michigan spent some time in the G-League, putting up 22 points a game on 45/33/92 shooting splits. Prior to that, the guard was putting up 5.5 points, 1.2 boards, and 0.9 assists. After returning to the Warriors lineup in March, he averaged 14.7 points, 2.1 boards, and 2.4 assists per contest. The latter half of the season bumped his numbers up significantly as he ended the year averaging 12.0/1.8/1.9 on 43/35/88 splits. This is a marked improvement in just one season alone.

Why Steph Curry Should be the MVP Favorite This Season

Steph Curry just had a season for the ages, taking the NBA scoring title in a late-season storm that only he could manage and finishing 3rd in MVP voting – likely missing out only because of the Warriors’ low-grade start and their inability to lock in a better playoff seed. While Nikola Jokic, the actual MVP in the 20-21 season, absolutely earned the nod, the second half of last season was arguably peak Steph:
