Three-Man Weave: Who will win the 2015-16 Most Improved Player award? (Ball Don't Lie)

With the draft and the bulk of free agency now behind us, it's time to start taking stock of what's transpired this summer and how it all figures to impact the upcoming NBA campaign.

This week, we discuss: Who will win the 2015-16 Most Improved Player award?

Dan Devine: Ever since the NBA started handing out the Most Improved Player Award 30 years ago, there's been a pretty simple formula for winning it:

• Move from a reserve role to a starting role, or at least starter's minutes;
• Score at least five more points per game than you did last year;
• Contribute to a playoff team, or at least a team in playoff contention.
