Boris Diaw, who went from a benchwarmer in Atlanta to a savior for the shorthanded Suns, will win the 2005-06 NBA’s Most Improved Player Award in a runaway. The projection is based an informal Tribune poll of voters for the award.
With 50 of 127 voters agreeing to share their votes with the Tribune or announce them publicly, Diaw received 37 of 50 firstplace votes and placed among the top three on 46 of the 50 ballots with 210 total points. David West of New Orleans was a distant second with two first-place votes and 88 points overall. Nenad Krstic of New Jersey was third with 36 points (three firsts) and Tony Parker fourth with 28 points (three firsts). |
