2012/13 Most Improved: Returning Players

[Griffin]

Which of our returning players from last year will show the most improvement this coming season? Options are limited this year as only six players are likely returning.

Past poll winners:

2007: 1. Sean Marks, 2. Boris Diaw, 3. Marcus Banks
2008: (no poll)
2009: 1. Goran Dragic, 2. Jarded Dudley
2010: 1. Robin Lopez, 2. Goran Dragic
2011: 1. Marcin Gortat, 2 Jarded Dudley, 3. Robin Lopez

Sean Marks in this poll and DJ Strawberry in the other?! Man, 2007 must have been a banner year for some stanky-ass ganja!

Sean Marks, LOL. I sure hope I didn't vote for him. It should have been obvious that he had no upside at all.

Well, it *was* Sean Marks against Diaw and Banks.

Morris is the guy that has the most room to improve on this list, he's young enough and there's scant reason not to give him playing time. Anyone else is like an exercise in futility. I'm voting for Markieff but my expectations are pretty darn low.

I agree. I guess Brown still has some room for improvement as well, but almost everyone else on this team might see their numbers go down without Nash. This is the year we find out whether Morris can outperform the likes of Robin Lopez and Earl Clark and solidify his position as the Suns best first-round pick in almost a decade. The bar is not very high.

I voted for Morris as well but only because he has the most room for improvement as others have noted.

I didn't choose Morris because, I guess, I would expect our most improved to either move into the starting lineup or be our clearcut sixth man.

Thinking more about it, I wouldn't predict Kieff until he stops camping out his 6'10 - 245 lb. body at the 3-point line, just as Channing Frye.
