Most Improved Player Award: Steph Curry not in Top 3

Steph Curry finished in fourth place in the 2015-16 NBA Most Improved Player Award voting results, the NBA announced on Friday morning.

The Portland Trail Blazers’ CJ McCollum, who more than tripled his scoring average from the previous season, won the award. The 6-4 guard joins Kevin Duckworth (1987-88) and Zach Randolph (2003-04) as the only Trail Blazers to earn the award, which is designed to honor an up-and-coming player who has made a dramatic improvement from the previous season or seasons.

McCollum received 101 first-place votes and 559 total points from a panel of 130 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada.
