Does Delly have a shot at Most Improved?

[plowking]

Maybe not statistically, but anyone who watched him last year, and compare it to the player he is now can see that it is night and day.

He has just about doubled his statistical input in a few major categories, but it is mainly his ball handling and shooting that has improved so much where he is actually a real threat now and not someone you can pressure. Last year he couldn't get the ball up the court, or hit his 3's consistently. Now it seems whenever he gets a kickout he drills it near every time.

I know CJ will probably run away with the award, but Delly has really built himself into a legit 6th man, and probably one of the better ones in the league.

He's a dirty SOB but you have a valid argument.

He's improved his over all game a lot but come on he shot 40% from three last season and you are saying he couldn't hit threes consistently? He averaged under 1 turnover a game but he couldn't bring the ball up the court?

Delly is a great player and he is very underrated.

Yes, he couldn't bring the ball up last season. Even in the playoffs last year, Bron or Kyrie would bring the ball up, and have him play as almost an off guard.

Now his usage% is up, and so is his time on the ball.

His shooting percentage has gone up this season, and he seems to be consistently hitting shots. Last year it seemed as if there was 1 good shooting one, then a poor one, then mixed in like that.

Not just something I noticed, even posters like RBA who watch a hell of a lot more Cavs than I do mention it.

He's a white guard. I just assumed he's a 50/40/90 guy already.

[DukeDelonte13]

highly doubtful. He is very improved but he doesn't strike me as a player that's well liked enough to get any serious consideration.

They'll have only 1 all star this year

I know its a joke, but his free throw shooting has also greatly improved. More signs that he really did improve as a shooter.

I wouldn't say "great" player but he has got better

[Meticode]

He has a 0% shot at winning it. He's improve since last year though. He's way more confident on his three and takes more shots off the dribble with his three as well.

Delly used to be a generic white NBA 2K player.
Now the boy got his own face.
