In the early morning of April 26th, Beijing time, the nba officially announced that Jia Morant, the player who made the fastest progress in the regular season this season, was elected. Last season, Morant averaged 19. 1 point, 4 rebounds and 7.4 assists. This season, he averaged 27.4 points, 5.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists. There is no doubt that Morant's strength is enough to match the selection threshold of this award, but the Warriors striker dream catcher Green gave a different view.

There is no disrespect for Morant and the progress he has made. I think his performance this season is unparalleled. But then again, Morant came in second. I may have said this a little too much, but when you chose a player who came second, you expected him to be so excellent, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen him to such a high position. It is natural for Morant to play such a play. Green probably means that the most improved player award should be awarded to those players whose performance greatly exceeds expectations, rather than those high-ranking players who are predicted to perform well. Green's statement certainly has its truth, but according to the award-winning situation in the past decade, there are also contradictions.

Among the winners of the most advanced player award in the past decade, there are second-rate players like Ingram and Oladipo, and a number of high-ranking players like Love and George. It can be seen that for the league, high ranking is not the selection standard for the fastest growing players. However, this does not mean that Morant's election is completely "legitimate" and flawless. Say so, not because Morant's strength is not enough. On the contrary, his power is too strong. If we define the trend of modern basketball in the last ten years, we can find that in the past 10 years, we have never seen anyone elected as the fastest growing player after winning the best rookie. With Morant's strength, it should be the competition among mvp ranks rather than the competition among the fastest growing players, right?

At present, Morant's performance in the playoffs needs to be improved. He needs to improve his long-range shooting, error control and defense. He should not focus on the award of the most improved player, but should focus on the longer-term direction. Fortunately, in the past two years, he has not been arrogant and stagnant. Even though he is gifted, he is still trying to make up for his shortcomings and achieve self-improvement. Whether he really won the prize or not, his ability and spirit tell us that his future is limitless!
