I have no problem with Paige winning most improved player. Everyone expected TJ to be good this year, the question was how good. Not everyone expected Paige to play at the level he has. I think it actually means TJ is more likely to get POY, since I some voters will give most improved to Paige so they can say they gave him something and then vote for TJ for POY.
Never a doubt. I think he’ll sweep.
I agree. I was more worried about the media. The coaches have seen him up close. He’ll win it easy.
As far as most improved goes…I really don’t think Warren improved very much. I think he’s getting more minutes, and is the primary scoring option, which makes his output look way higher.
This preseason scouting report lists basically all of the things TJ did this year.
He’s awesome this year. I highly suspect he was nearly as awesome last year, just not featured.
So when it comes to improvement, yes there’s some, but not drastic improvement.His defense is drastically improved. Thankfully, he did receive one DPOY vote, to make up for the first team all-defense snub (which is still galling).

If defense includes defensive rebounding I have no problem with him not getting votes. He’s not very good at defensive rebounding.
20 lbs difference would suggest he’s improved in more than just total production.
There’s no question as to his improvement on the D side of the ball. I also see evidence of an improvement in mentality and toughness.
I think some are confusing a matching of pontential and expectations, or even simply projections, with the absence of improvement.
No way TJ performs like this last year and puts out this production, regardless of team personnel or how many green lights he would’ve been given.
MHO, anyway.
