Top 20 Most Improved NBA Players This Year

15. Derrick Rose

Derrick Rose is not the typical player that you would put in the most improved category, having won an MVP in his a career. Still, Rose is a lock for the Comeback Player of the Year Award if he continues to play at this high level and has shown great improvement from last year. Rose had a career-high 50 point game this season, which was met with love and admiration by all players around the league. Rose had an awful year last year that saw him average less than double-digit points for the first time and many people thought his career was over. Now Rose is averaging 18.4 points per game, which is on par with his career numbers.
