No real big shakeups, but we've been talking about

this season and the surprise guys, these, these guys that have come out of nowhere.

The most improved award is it's interesting.

Number one, it's hard to pick one guy, especially a season like this.

Yeah.

I do think Nikhil Alexander Walker is likely winning the award.

It feels like he's got all the buzz.

He had that big game against the Knicks the other day.

And rightfully so.

I mean, he has had probably as big of an improvement as maybe any, any player in the league.

I mean, I think just statistically he's,

When you look at, yes, he has a better role or, you know, has more minutes, but he went from nine point four points a game to twenty point eight.

And it's not just to say that scoring is all that matters, because, I mean, he's done more than that.

But that's a huge scoring job.

Yeah, did a great job against Jalen Brunson, which, you know, obviously that's something that might come up in the playoffs.

We didn't really know anything about him because he could have just been this good.

That is legitimately an on-the-fly opportunity thing that I –

I just feel like that's where the award goes sometimes, and I don't love that.

But I think Jalen Dern is a great example.

And the biggest thing for me that he's improved at, not only just with the ball on offense, like the ball in his hands, he actually can attack the basket.
