Top 20 Most Improved NBA Players This Year

8. Tim Hardaway Jr.

When Tim Hardaway Jr. signed a four-year $71 million offer sheet with the New York Knicks as a restricted free agent, many analysts scoffed at the idea of paying him that kind of money. In his second years of that deal, Hardaway is proving to be worth that kind of money as he is carrying Knicks offensively. Hardaway has averaged 12.8 points throughout his career, but that number is rising as he is putting up 22.1 points per game this season.
