We are only a month into the NBA season, but if it were to end right now, Jalen Duren would have the Most Improved Player award wrapped up.
Early in the season, it looked as though he’d have some competition from his own team, as Isaiah Stewart has gotten off to a strong start, and Ausar Thompson is already turning some heads.
But right now, that award would have to go to Duren, who has been one of the catalysts behind the Pistons’ hot start. Duren’s game holds up no matter how you look at it.
