Hawks guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker came to Atlanta ready to do whatever the team needed ā and what the team needed turned out to be everything he had.
After averaging just 9.4 points per game last season, NAW is putting up 20.5 this year, a jump that ranks third-highest in the past 25 years. He's shooting 39.1% from three, attacking the rim at a career-high rate, and locking in defensively ā all while helping push the Hawks to sixth in the East.
GM Onsi Saleh called him "the ultimate unselfish professional." The Most Improved Player voters might just agree.
