Can a player win Most Improved twice?

Why are we only talking about Blanchfield? Everyone knows the Sixers will scoop the pool of individual awards before bowing out in the first round of the playoffs...

This reminds me of the year in primary school where I tanked the first half and then *cough* improved *cough* improved in the second half yet still didn't win the end of year awards Most Improved award.

In Blanchfield's case it would be more like 5 to 15 then 15 to 8 then 8 - 20.

Would you pay the MIP to a person who has regressed then recovered?

yeah most improved should be improvement on the players previous best season.

So if a player jumped from 5 to 15ppg and then 15 to 25ppg why not?

LoveBroker, at least Gaze's shuffle offence -- theoretically anyway -- promotes ball and man movement, with cutting a feature.

Admittedly, they were just weird through the second half of last season.

And with Melbourne, the ball was in the hands of Goulding and Ware, who are mostly focused on getting their own. Lisch is a great teammate to have.

Did Blanchfield leave before Vickerman was signed? If so sucks on the timing as he goes from one fraudulent coach to another.

"I foresee a bumper year for Todd Blanchfield at Sydney, and considering his poor form in Melbourne, should actually be frontrunner for MIP."

Why do you see a bumper year for TB @ Sydney? At Melbourne he was really content letting the game come to him so to speak and it showed in how he regressed statistically.

If we were to say, well he was under Dean D, I would have to come back with he will now be under Gaze, is there that much of an improvement?

He was a gun in Townsville when he one it. He had the reins and was around a 20ppg scorer most nights. Had the ball in his hands a fair bit.

Why not? You can improve on improvement.

I guess it’s possible.

Only time I think something similar has happened is Pennington winning NFL comeback player of the year twice.

He'd be in with a good chance. Looks like he'll be featured in Sydney rather than sitting in a corner in Melbourne

Although season is coming to a close I found a nice little facebook group called NBA on ONE HD (apparently official) which announces all games to be aired including current playoffs (sometimes last minute changes).

Following is the link for those interested:
