The fight for Most Improved Player of the Year is intense this season and there are multiple stars who could receive the highly-coveted honor.
Chicago Bulls star Coby White is one of the many players who could be named Most Improved.
Paul George of the Los Angeles Clippers believes that he has definitely earned the title.
According to the Bulls on Twitter, George said:
“He turned the corner, he understands how to score, how to be efficient, how to be an NBA player, and play at a high level. This is the Coby White you’ll see going forward. So I would say Most Improved goes to Coby White.”

White has definitely had a very impressive season, averaging 19.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.2 assists.
When compared to last year, those numbers are downright astonishing.
In 2022-23, White averaged 9.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.8 assists.
In just about every way, White has tweaked and enhanced his game and become a much better player.
But will it be enough to earn the Most Improved Player?
Other stars in the league, such as Tyrese Maxey, are fighting hard to claim the trophy.
No matter what happens, White has had a season that he should be very proud of.
His Bulls, however, have been floundering from the very beginning.
The team is currently the ninth seed in the East with a 34-35 record.
That is actually better than some people expected from the Bulls, due to the number of injuries they have been dealt.
Despite the tough absences on the roster, the Bulls are still in contention to make the Play-In Tournament in a few weeks.
If they reach the tournament, it’ll give White a chance to show off how much he has improved on a huge stage.
