The NBA begins its traditional distribution of individual trophies for this season, with that of “ Most Improved Player (MIP)”. A distinction won this year by Tyrese Maxey (319 points), who succeeds Lauri Markkanen.
Preferred over Alperen Sengun (92 points) and especially Coby White (305 points), the player of Sixers went in the space of one year from 20.3 points, 3.5 assists and 2.9 rebounds on average (in 34 minutes) to 25.9 points, 6.2 assists and 3.7 rebounds on average (in 38 minutes) alongside Joel Embiid.
The departure of James Harden has obviously boosted his stats, and changed the attention of defenses towards him (hence the falling percentages), but the 23-year-old guard has also progressed in his offensive decision-making, becoming the solid second option of a contender for the assumed title.
A cherry placed on an already very tasty cake for Tyrese Maxey, who established himself among the All-Stars of the Eastern Conference this winter, for his fourth year in the league. Chosen in 21st position in the 2020 Draft, he was never expected to reach such a level of play when he arrived in the NBA, but he quickly knew how to take advantage of the opportunities offered to him on the NBA side. Philadelphia.
The recent performances of the former Kentucky resident should in any case allow him to be extended at a high price by his managers during the offseason. At most, he will be able to obtain $205 million over five years!
