Top 20 Most Improved NBA Players This Year

10. D’Angelo Russell

D’Angelo Russell’s teammate Caris LeVert may have taken his place on this list, had his season not been curtailed by a gruesome leg injury. In LeVert’s place, Russell has become the featured scorer for the Nets and he is thriving in that role. Russell is averaging a career-high 18 points per game this year and his shooting percentages have not dipped at all despite his spiked usage rate.
