After losing most of last year’s regular-season to an injury, exciting Brooklyn Nets shooting guard Caris LeVert never really got the opportunity to establish himself as a breakout player. LeVert put up modest averages of 13.7 points on 42.9% from the field, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists.
Early on, it appeared he was well on his way to taking down the Most Improved Player award. However, it wasn’t until the Nets first-round playoff matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers that LeVert really showed star power, scoring 20-points or more during three of the five total games.
