Voting for the Most Improved Player award is usually wide open. There are
always a lot of players who have better seasons than their previous year, and
it's up to the voters to determine which one improved to the greatest degree.
Last year, 30 different players, including 14-year veteran Ben Wallace,
received first-, second- or third-place votes for the award, evidence that
among the voters, there are a lot of different criteria.
最佳進步獎的人選通常有很開放的可能性，總是有很多球員的表現會較去年進步，而票
選會決定誰是進步最多的人。去年，包括已經在聯盟第14個球季的Ben Wallace等共有30
個球員被列入考慮，而投票者們考量著不同的標準。
Most improved points per game
Player 2009-10 2010-11 Diff.
Dorell Wright 7.1 16.4 +9.3
Nick Young 8.6 17.7 +9.1
DeMar DeRozan 8.6 16.6 +8.0
D.J. Augustin 6.4 14.3 +8.0
Wesley Matthews 9.4 16.2 +6.8
Sasha Vujacic 2.8 9.1 +6.4
Kevin Love 14.0 20.3 +6.3
Russell Westbrook 16.1 22.2 +6.1
Jodie Meeks 4.7 10.5 +5.8
Daniel Gibson 6.3 12.1 +5.8
(跳過一小段好像不重要的...)
Brooks' scoring average increased by 8.4 points per game last season. This
year, when it comes to putting points on the board, no one has been more
improved than the Warriors' Dorell Wright.
去年Brooks每場平均得分進步了8.4分，而今年進步最多的是勇士隊的Dorell Wright。
Of course, there's more to the game than scoring. And when we look at the
efficiency stat, which adds up all positive numbers and subtracts the
negative, only four of the players above remain in the top 10.
當然比賽並不只有得分，如果觀察下面效率的統計就會發現只剩下四個球員留在前十。
Most improved efficiency per game
Player 2009-10 2010-11 Diff.
Kevin Love 19.7 28.7 +9.0
D.J. Augustin 6.0 14.7 +8.7
Kris Humphries 9.0 17.1 +8.0
Dorell Wright 8.8 16.8 +8.0
Marcin Gortat 6.9 14.8 +7.9
Tyson Chandler 10.3 17.5 +7.2
Nick Young 5.6 12.4 +6.7
JaVale McGee 8.6 15.2 +6.6
Jrue Holiday 9.4 16.0 +6.6
Brandon Bass 6.4 12.7 +6.3
-Minumum 50 games played this season
-Efficiency = Pts. + reb. + ast. + stl. + blk. TO (FGA-FGA) (FTA-FTM)
Love obviously has had a huge season statistically, but there is a pace
factor to his numbers. The Timberwolves lead the league in pace, averaging
99.5 possessions per 48 minutes. Last year, they ranked third (98.5), so his
"improvement" is only slightly aided by pace.
很明顯的Kevin Love本季有著漂亮的數據，但部分原因可能是由於球隊的節奏快速，
灰狼隊本季平均每場的實質進攻次數高達99.5次，領先全聯盟。去年他們以平均98.5次
排名第三，所以Love的進步可能受到球隊快速球風的些微幫助。
Still, when you adjust for pace, Love moves down a spot in the improvement
rankings. The top 10 is the same group of players, but we see that the raw
improvement of Love, Wright, Young and McGee has been given a boost by the
pace at which their teams play.
Most improved efficiency per game, pace adjusted

D.J. Augustin 6.2 14.9 +8.7
Kevin Love 18.9 27.4 +8.5
Kris Humphries 9.2 17.5 +8.3
Marcin Gortat 6.9 14.9 +8.0
Tyson Chandler 10.6 17.8 +7.2
Dorell Wright 9.2 16.2 +7.0
Jrue Holiday 9.6 16.1 +6.5
Brandon Bass 6.4 12.9 +6.4
Nick Young 5.7 12.1 +6.4
JaVale McGee 8.8 15.0 +6.2
-Minumum 50 games and 1,000 minutes played this season
根據球隊的節奏經過調整後，Love、Wright、Nick Young、McGee的效率有些下降。
Now, Augustin's improvement is a lot about opportunity. With Raymond Felton
leaving Charlotte via free agency, Augustin is averaging almost twice as many
minutes this season (33.4) as he did last season (18.4). But he's still
become a better player. If we look at efficiency improvement on a per-minute
basis, Augustin is still in the top 10, with Chandler and Humphries also
remaining on the list.
D.J. Augustin的進步跟上場機會的增加有關，由於Raymond Felton離開了山貓，使得
Augustin的上場時間(33.4)幾乎是上一季(18.4)的二倍，雖然如此，他也已經有了相當的
進步，如果將數據修正為平均每分鐘的效率，Augustin仍然在前十的位置，而Chandler和
Humphries也依然留在名單上。
Most improved efficiency per 40 minutes, pace adjusted
Player 2009-10 2010-11 Diff.
Tyson Chandler 18.6 25.5 +6.9
DeShawn Stevenson 6.7 12.1 +5.4
Thaddeus Young 16.2 21.3 +5.1
Darrell Arthur 15.4 20.2 +4.8
Ramon Sessions 15.7 20.4 +4.7
Kevin Martin 17.4 22.1 +4.7
Russell Westbrook 20.7 25.4 +4.6
Vladimir Radmanovic 12.4 16.9 +4.5
Kris Humphries 20.8 25.3 +4.5
D.J. Augustin 13.4 17.9 +4.5
-Minumum 50 games and 1,000 minutes played this season
This list better represents the players who have improved their games, and
whose jump in numbers isn't just about increased minutes. Kevin Love ranks
12th by this criteria at +4.1, while MVP candidate Derrick Rose ranks 11th at
+4.4.
這項數據較清楚地說明了球員在場上效率的進步幅度，並不僅僅是因為他們的上場時間變
多了而使的數據上升。Kevin Love在這項數據中排名第十二，而MVP候選人Derrick Rose
排名第11。
Individual stats are nice and all. But they don't mean much unless they're
helping win games. Augustin, Love, Humphries and Wright all play for teams at
least 12 games under .500. Coming off the bench, Augustin was a plus-10 for
the Bobcats last season (+0.2 per 100 possessions), and he's a minus-230 this
year (-5.1 per 100 possessions).
個人的數據確實重要，但這並不表示他可以讓球隊贏球。
Augustin、Love、Humphries和Wright.....這邊看不懂#$%^&*&%# Orz
It would be tough to give an award to Augustin when the scoreboard has been
going in the wrong direction when he's in the game. The Bobcats have been a
better team with Augustin on the bench than with him on the floor. And if you
consider team success when determining All-Stars and MVP candidates, surely
it has to play a role in Most Improved Player voting.
The easiest way to determine team success is to look at the standings. But
when evaluating individual players, how well their team performs when they're
on the floor must be considered. And when we look at improvement in on-court
team stats, we get a much different list.
山貓隊在Augustin坐在板凳上的時候表現的還比較好，因此既然D.J.Augustin不能幫助球
隊贏球，他實在很難得到這個獎項。如果人們將球隊戰績列為考量明星賽球員和MVP的因
素時，同樣的這項因素也影響著最佳進步獎的票選。
決定球隊是否成功最簡單的方是就是看戰績，但是要評價一個球員對球隊有無貢獻時
就要觀察當他在場上時球隊的表現如何？
Most improved team efficiency differential (with player on floor)
Player 2009-10 2010-11 Diff.
Vladimir Radmanovic -8.0 +3.5 +11.4
Chris Bosh +0.3 +10.8 +10.5
Sam Young -9.2 +1.1 +10.3
Tyson Chandler -1.2 +8.8 +10.0
James Jones -0.8 +8.2 +9.0
Taj Gibson -0.4 +8.4 +8.8
Hedo Turkoglu -0.5 +8.1 +8.7
Courtney Lee -5.1 +3.4 +8.5
Derrick Rose -3.4 +5.1 +8.5
Jrue Holiday -2.9 +5.5 +8.4
-Minumum 1,000 minutes played this season and 500 last season
-Efficiency differential =
Own teams points per 100 possessions - Opponents points per 100 possessions
Humphries ranks 67th by this criteria at +3.1, while Love ranks 86th at +1.9.
While they both play for bad teams, their improvement has helped their squads
get a little bit better.
Humphries 在這項數據上僅以+3.1排名第67，而Love以+1.9排名第86，他們的球隊戰績
都不理想，他們的進步對於球隊戰績可能有一些些的幫助。
It takes more than individual improvement to make it to the top of this list
though. Good teammates help. Ranking second in the league in usage rate, Rose
obviously has more of an impact in his team's success than the other nine,
but Chandler has also clearly made a difference in Dallas.
And Chandler is the only guy on each of the last three lists. His per-game
numbers have improved dramatically, his per-minute numbers have made a jump,
and he's contributing more to his team's success than he did last season.
要在這項數據上名列前茅需要的不僅僅是個人的進步，好的隊友也有加分的效果。
在聯盟中usage rate排名第二的Rose無疑地對球隊有著比名單中其他九人更大的影響力
但Chandler在這方面也不惶多讓。
Chandler是唯一一個在前面三項評比都有上榜的人，他的平均單場數據有著顯著的成長，
平均每分鐘的貢獻增加了，也較前一季更能幫助球隊贏球。
Chandler's 2009-10 season in Charlotte was a drop-off from his best seasons
with the Hornets. His efficiency per 40 minutes is a career best this season,
but his efficiency per game was better in 2006-07 and 2007-08. So again, it's
up to the voters to determine if his increased numbers are truly about
"improvement" or if he's just returning to form after two injury-riddled
seasons. It's probably a little of both.
09-10的賽季，在黃蜂隊有著優異表現的Chandler於轉到山貓隊後成績急速下降。而他平
均每40分鐘的效率在本季回到生涯新高。因此，Chandler本季數據的成長是因為真正有了
顯著的進步抑或只是從前兩個充滿傷病的賽季回到以前的水準而已，投票者們會有自己的
定論。
If you're looking at raw stats to determine the league's Most Improved
Player, it's hard to look past Kevin Love. But if you look deeper into the
numbers, you have to consider guys like Chandler, Holiday and even Rose, who
in making the leap from All-Star to MVP candidate, has taken his team with
him.
如果僅看個人的數據來決定最佳進步獎的得主，那我們很難忽略Kevin Love；但如果觀察
的更深入一點，Chandler、Holiday甚至本季表現搶眼的MVP候選人Rose都是應該考慮的
人選。
