Pascal Siakam is the 2018-19 NBA Most Improved Player after beating out D’Angelo Russell, and De’Aaron Fox for the honor. Voters, however, may have picked the wrong player.
By all accounts, Pascal Siakam had an incredible season and there’s few players more deserving but, Sacramento Kings point guard De’Aaron Fox improved far more from 2017-18 to 2018-19. Of course, there’s some strong arguments against Fox as MIP (more on that later), but it’s hard to say anyone in the NBA this season — or history — improved more than he did from last season to this one.
