    Default Mullens A legit MIP candidate?

    Yes I am posting this after he has had his best game as a pro but it is a legit question? Or did he not play enough before to be classed as "improved"

    Obviously I meant Most Improved player!!! haha

    MVP? No way.
    Most improved? Definately a shot, increased his scoring by 8 points, rebounding by 3 and blocks by 0.6.

    I can definately see this guy continuing to improve. Mullens really interests me, could develop into a very nice player in another 1-2 yrs.

    maybe because its an individual award? He didn't say most improved team. He said most improved player. team record has nothing to do with a players own personal improvement.

    Mully is definitely in the picture. He's gone from trade fodder to legit power forward in a shortened season on a team that is tanking. In my opinion the fact that the Bobcats have been so bad this year, is all the more reason he should get the award.

    It all depends who is also in the running for the award. I don't think he'll get it, but no question he has improved.

    He's improved as much as anybody else, but this award (like all others) is a more a product of hype and popularity than anything else. Mully has no hype, and the Bobcats have no popularity.

    People will use the argument "someone had to score and rebound" for the bobcats thats why his numbers are high. To some extent I agree but i do think he should be talked about in the conversation as he has gained some respect from everyone. Teams don't leave him open anymore.

    Side note Mully is one heck of an offensive rebounder!

    Jeremy Lin will get the most improved award without a doubt. Mully should be in the picture though.

    so is mvp, 6th man and dpoy but they all go to someone on a top team. i will make a virtual wager with you that he isn't even on the ballot. i bet a virtual handshake and an actual "i told you so"

    MVP meaning most valuable player . for a player to valuable the team has to be doing well because of him. You arent all that valuable if your team sucks. But you can go from nobody to pretty decent player even on a bad team. It doesnt matter i know he wont win it. I'm just saying he deserves to be in it.
