I gotta go with Siakam. The name of the award is Most Improved and he's improved the most over the year. Siakam was an unheralded late first round pick from Cameroon, son played at New Mexico State. He was raw picked up the game late and all to get to this level shows the most improvement.

:salute: to Russell but he already had a blueprint for his game the biggest difference for him is dude has gotten in the best shape of his career he would always get clowned for being slow. Now, he actually has some quickness and he uses it really well through them screens. He has also changed his mentality and maturity he went from that Nick Young incident to an actual poised mature leader. His usage and minutes are at a career high level, we always knew he had the talent second overall pick out Ohio State.

Siakam has added too much to his game, brehs. I watch him sometimes and think this nikka on the way to stardom. He's the fastest big in the league and runs the floor all day, added effective post moves, can take bigs off the dribble, can handle the ball on the break, can pass, went from not being able to shoot to low key a marksman from the corners, is good on defense.

Breh, is just a complete ass big :picard:

I swear everytime Kawhi or Lowry sit out he shows out :wow:

he used to play soccer so his conditioning is a plus. Dude is literally always running, and that patented spin move is :wow:, even added a 3 point shot that he never had. The funny thing is I've yet to see dude be stopped, when he plays with kawhi and lowry he barely shoots the ball, when one or the other is out he'll drop 30 with ease.

Dlo no question. What he has done this season to lead the Nets is incredible. Siakim a bad boy, but like others said, if the raptors fail it will fall on Kawhi or Kyle not siakim. Don’t compare a third option leading a former 11th seed to the playoffs to a 3rd option

Right that's why I think dude can really anchor a team

I've seen him outplay Kawhi more than once

He's so damn fluid and has a knack for drawing fouls too

D'Angelo is more deserving because he is the leader of his team, especially in clutch situations, and team would be going nowhere without him

But Siakam should win it cause it's literally the definition of the award. Went from an unknown to a key member on a championship contender

Right the only reason dude is even up for the award is because he tanked his value playing shytty on the Lakers he was supposed to be this :heh:

D'Angelo playing the game he's always played meanwhile Siakam has expanded his bag tenfold
:heh: right*
