RJ Barrett lays low in crowded Most Improved Player field

RJ Barrett improved by leaps and bounds in year two of his NBA career. His three-point shooting and overall improved play helped lead the New York Knicks to the playoffs for the first time since 3013.

Despite his major improvements, it was his teammate Julius Randle who ran away with the NBA’s Most Improved Player award. Can it be two years in a row for the orange and blue? Possibly, but there are a ton of different players who could win MIP.

Most of the time, someone comes out of left field to shock the world and win the award.
