While the race for Most Improved Player of the Year heats up, one sleeper for the award is Gary Harris. While Jokic is one of the front runners, Harris had a remarkable year that deserves some recognition.
Is Harris going to win the award? Most likely not. However, it is still worth making a case for him. His defensive numbers took a bit of a hit this year, but when you are guarding the best perimeter player every game and missing a few games due to injury, that is bound to occur.
His offensive statistics on the other hand, were off the charts.
