JJ Redick doesn’t like what the NBA has improved the most. Player Award

The most improved player price was one of the most difficult to get under control in the last seasons. In each of the past five years, a player won his first all-star team and then won the award, with four of these five former top 10 picks. And Los Angeles Laker’s head coach JJ Redick is not a fan of this trend.

Redick sang the praise of Austin Reaves all year round and rightly sung because the guard enjoys the best year of his career. But Reaves has received little traction for the most improved Player Award. Instead, the favorite for most of the year was the Detroit Piston Guard Cade Cunningham, the top overall victory in 2021, which was his first all-star appearance this season.

After a recently carried out Lakers practice, Redick spoke about the most improved player price and the failure of the league to define exactly what it should be, what led to the mind was lost.

Redick’s complaints about the award basically go to a high draft pick that makes his first all-star team, while a Max contract has had a Max contract over the years. Fair, last year’s winner Tyrese Maxey was not even a lottery election, although the four before him: Lauri Markkanen, yes Morant, Julius Randle and Brandon Ingram, all fit this bill.

In the past few days, the Atlanta Hawks Guard Dyson Daniels suddenly jumped the betting facility for the award in front of Cunningham. While he is still a former lottery election, Daniels seems to fit the spirit of the award better, of which the Lakers trainer spoke, with a big lead in steals and became one of the best defensive guards in the NBA after he has had little effect in his first two seasons in the league.

While Reaves does not receive the recognition for this award, the Redick should, the Lakers Guard has still made the world aware of this season, and maybe these words of his trainer can help bring the award closer to what it should be.

JJ Redick says

JJ Redick’s main concern to prepare the Lakers for what they hope is a long after season run and he believes that the team has to build this up in the rest of the regular season.

“It is a mental, physical and emotional tribute,” said Redick. “You have to be locked up for every possession. In order not to say that good teams in the regular season are not closed in 90% of the possessions, but we have to do this in these next eight games. We have to build our playoff mentality and it has to be tonight.”
