Was Jeremy Lin robbed in the Most Improved Player voting?
The ultimate winner, Orlando Magic forward Ryan Anderson, registered 260 points and 33 first-place votes, edging out Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova and Minnesota Timberwolves center Nikola Pekovic. Meanwhile the Knicks' Lin finished sixth with 91 overall points and 10 first-place votes despite going from the D-League to NBA stardom before tearing a meniscus in his left knee against the Pistons in late March.
Now we want you to tell us if Lin should have been named the league's Most Improved.
Remember, Anderson did go from starting 14 games and averaging 10.6 points per game in 2010-2011 to starting in every game he played while scoring 16.1 ppg on 39.3 percent 3-point accuracy this year.
Lin appeared in only 29 games for the Golden State Warriors last season, averaging 9.8 minutes and 2.6 points per game, but became an international superstar this year by starting 25 times in 35 appearances and averaging 14.6 points and 6.2 assists per game.
Lin also sparked a seven-game winning streak in February, which brought the Knicks back to .500 and ultimately helped the team reach the playoffs. While winning Player of the Month in February, Lin hit the game-winner against the Raptors in Toronto, dropped 38 points on the Lakers in Los Angeles in a winning effort, and had a 28-point, 14-assists performance in a win over the Dallas Mavericks.
【NBA快讯】5月5日，NBA公布了本赛季进步最快球员奖的归属，最终奥兰多魔术的前锋里安·安德森力压诸多球员，荣获这一奖项。效力于纽约尼克斯的华裔控卫林书豪本来是这一奖项的有力竞争者，可他因为出场次数过少，最终仅在这一评选中位列第六名。对于林书豪来说，伤病让他没能够获得这一重大荣誉，这确实是一件令人惋惜的事情。
实际上仅从进步的幅度和给全球带来的影响力来说，本赛季没有人可以和林书豪相提并论。相比上个赛季，林书豪本赛季的场均得分达到了14.6分，相比上个赛季暴增了12分，而他的场均助攻则达到了6.2次，比上赛季提升了4.8次。另外林书豪的投篮命中率从上赛季的38.9%飞增到44.6%，三分球命中率从20%上升到32%，甚至罚球命中率也从76%达到了79.8%。因此仅从上升幅度来说，林书豪的进步幅度无人能及，但可惜的是，他一共只打了35场常规赛，这让很多专家在投票的时候有所犹豫，并且最终选择了他们更加认可的安德森等球员。
