The Most Improved Player race is air-tight, but Milwaukee Bucks guard Ryan Rollins feels like the odd man out. It's frustrating, given that Rollins is the definition of what a Most Improved Player should be. Last season, Rollins was simply hoping to stick in the NBA. This season, he's become a starter for the Bucks on a full-time basis, and the numbers are eye-popping.
No other player has made that type of leap.
Ryan Rollins' Most Improved Player case is undeniable
Deni Avdija, Jalen Johnson, and Jalen Duren are all players who have improved so much that they were first-time All-Stars this season.
