Honorable Mentions: Isaiah Thomas, Nikola Jokic, Devin Booker, Jabari Parker

Surprised? You shouldn’t be. Giannis Antetokounmpo didn’t just make the leap, he made one of his leaps – which if you’ve been paying attention are really, really long.

Giannis improved in literally every statistical category, including points, assists, rebounds, blocks and steals per game. His field goal and 3-point percentage have also increased substantially, which is terrifying.

Add in the fact that The Greek Freak was the first All-Star the Bucks have had since Michael Redd in 2004 and you have yourself a promising Most Improved Player campaign.

If Giannis’ game takes yet another step this offseason, we might be talking about the MVP next season. Seriously.
