Also, which of these players do you think will sustain these numbers? Which players won't?

[BigTicket]

I'd vote for Evan Turner if he can keep it up.

13ppg on 42%FG -> 23ppg on 50%FG is a massive improvement, and one I really did not see coming.

I was expecting Anthony Davis and Paul George to get a lot better, but I had honestly half forgotten about Evan Turner.

[Meticode]

A ton of canidates this year. It's so nice to see a bunch of players improving, but it is very early in the season.

So far if you're just basing it on the 10 or so games played right now, I'd have to say Evan Turner. The 76ers are doing better than expected so far, and Evan Turner is playing above his hyped pick status when he was drafted (at least to me).

Anthony Davis is right there with him, but Turners turnaround so far has been unbelievable. He's doing quiet things in Philly.

george is a mvp candidate and he won MIP last season so he is out...
love, lin, martin already had breakout seasons..

bledsoe and turner are the best candidates if they can keep up their stats

[alenleomessi]

also davis shouldnt really count since its expected for guys with superstar potential to have huge sophomore season... did lebron win MIP in his sophomore season? of course not..

[dunksby]

Andre Drummond: 12/12 (5ORB)/2ST/1.5BLK on 65FG%.

Very true.

derrick rose

from 0 ppg, 0 apg and 0rpg on 0 FG% last year to 14.7, 4.5 and 2.8

[roffie]

i want bledsoe to win it

[QuebecBaller]

Is it possible for a player to win MIP two years in a row?

Paul Geroge went from

12.1/5.6/2.4/1.6
to
17.4/7.6/4.1/1.8

and let's say he finish this season with
25.2/8.1/5.0/1.9

[Scholar]

I say Anthony Davis gets it, but Paul George is a good candidate, too.

I can see these two and KLove maintaining their current averages or maybe just dropping by a few decimal points in categories like PPG.

[Nash]

Lebron from 56% to 61%.

[Twiens]

Still on the Bledsoe for MIP bandwagon
