After the announcement that Caris LeVert would be in the starting lineup for the Brooklyn Nets to open up the season aside D’Angelo Russell, it seems like this could this be the break LeVert needs to get this season off on the right foot.

If history is any indicator, it looks as if LeVert has a good shot at grabbing the award. In recent history, 2013-14 Most Improved winner, Goran Dragic‘s scoring total went from 14.
