NAW for MIP?

Apr 12, 2026 4:49 AM

Should Nickeil Alexander-Walker be the front-runner for the NBA's Most Improved Player award?

2024-25 (25.3 mins/g): 9.4 ppg, 3.2 rpg, 2.7 apg, 0.6 spg, 43.8% FG, 38.1% 3P

2025-26 (33.4 mins/g): 20.8 ppg, 3.4 rpg, 3.7 apg, 1.3 spg, 45.9% FG, 39.9% 3P

NAW's emergence is a massive reason the Hawks have surged into the playoffs after trading Trae Young. It seems like Ryan Rollins is currently the favorite for MIP, but NAW should absolutely earn the recognition, in my opinion.
