Domantas Sabonis has been excellent off the bench for the Indiana Pacers. Domantas Sabonis has also been much better than he was last season. This begs the question: can he do something unprecedented and win Sixth Man of the Year AND Most Improved Player?
Very rarely in NBA history has one player won two different awards in one season. Hakeem Olajuwon and Michael Jordon both won Most Valuable Player and Defensive Player of the year in the same season. Wes Unseld and Wilt Chamberlain both won MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same year.
