Does Luka Doncic have a case for the NBA’s Most Improved Player award?

Last season, 19-year-old Luka Doncic began his NBA career. The numbers he accomplished when his 72 game season concluded were incredibly impressive. Doncic averaged 21.2 points per game on 42.7 percent shooting, with 6.0 assists, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. His remarkable season earned him 98 percent of the first place votes on one of the league’s most prestigious awards — Rookie of the Year. Now, in his sophomore season, Doncic looks even more impressive. Look at how his 2019-20 season is faring against some of the all-time best seasons from 20-year-old players.
