I think he should after 2 horrendous seasons in Memphis he is finally shining in Dallas. I expect him to average around 25 points a game. When Dirk returns Dallas will be even better. Darren Collison his PG might have a shot at the award too.
If not OJ who do you think will win? IMO Derozan.
OJ Mayo for Most Improved player award?

I picked Big Baby Davis in another thread and I'd stand by that. He just needs to carry the form he showed in last years playoffs through the whole season. And considering he's pretty much the first option in Orlando that's more than plausible.
OJ's been playing great in Dallas. He really needed that change of scenery.

I think it's gonna be between OJ Mayo and Big Baby
James Harden was already 6th man of the year so everybody knew what he was capable of. Nobody even thought OJ was even gonna be this good. Big Baby also has a chance if he helps the Magic have a solid record.

I'm glad that Mayo is starting to step up his game after somewhat being off after his rookie year.
My pick for MIP is John Wall. I think he's going to be a beast this season.

It could be Taj but even with Asik's departure, Thibs doesn't seem to give him more minutes. Don't know why.
But for the minutes he plays (almost 20) he's a beast.

OJ Mayo is definitely going to be in the running for it. He's not the #1 option in Dallas but right now, with Dirk out, he's definitely showing why he thinks he should be.

M'eh on Mayo.
MIP is probably one of the most useless awards. What has he "improved" on? Going to a gutted team? He's still the same player.
No Terry, no Kidd, no Dirk, no Marion... go for it OJ... you're finally the best player on the team.

OJ hasnt improved. He is the same guy + more minutes ! Most improved player should improve in most categories by much not a 1ppg or 0.5 rpg.. OJ is a great pick for Dalas but still he is the same Memphis OJ Mayo

Do you like not like oj mayo or something? I remember there was another thread about mayo and you had nothing but negative things to say about him. He's improved, you've gotta be blind to think otherwise. His jump shot is a lot more consistent and he's shooting over 50%, comparing that to his horrid 42% or whatever it was last season, thats a huge improvement, and considering he's the teams main scorer now that dirk is out that should just tell you what kind of a scorer he is. His first two years screamed superstar, the coaching set his career back.M'eh on Mayo.
