NBA fans, aside from the MVP award, are also interested in the Most Improved Player award. Recently, US media conducted a survey in which 12 experts were invited to analyze and vote. They assigned points with 5 points for the first vote, 4 points for the second, and so on, with the fifth vote worth 1 point. Based on these scores, the Most Improved Player is determined.

No 5: Anfernee Simons, Trail Blazers. With Lillard missing most of the season due to injury and McCollum and Powell being traded, Simons had the opportunity to shine. This season, his usage rate increased from 18.3% to 24.8%, and his statistics improved significantly. He maintained a 40% three-point shooting percentage and showed excellent organizational skills. He will be a restricted free agent this summer, and if Lillard leaves the team, Simons is likely to receive a raise. Total score: 16 points.

No 4: Dejounte Murray, Spurs. Murray is not a young player; he was a 2016 draftee. However, he missed the 2018-19 season, and now that he's healthy, he's reached career-high statistics and was named to the All-Star team. Total score: 23 points.

No 3: Ja Morant, Grizzlies. In his third year as a pro, Morant has made a substantial leap in his statistics. He even considers himself an MVP candidate. With strong explosiveness and a knack for breaking down defenses, he has a bright future. Total score: 27 points.

No 2: Darius Garland, Cavaliers. Garland and his teammate Allen both became All-Star players this year. With Sexton and Rubio sidelined due to injuries, Garland became the team's main force. His statistics have also significantly improved, and he is a traditional playmaking guard who needs to organize the game for the team to succeed. Total score: 30 points.

No 1: Jordan Poole, Warriors. With Klay returning in the middle of the season, Poole found his role and became a reliable scoring machine and three-point shooter. He and Curry are in the starting lineup, and he moved to the bench after Klay's return. He has great potential and is considered a key part of the Warriors' future. Total score: 31 points.

These results are based on the votes of the 12 experts. What do you think about this list?
