Sports Illustrated has picked New Jersey point guard Devin Harris as their choice for this season's Most Improved Player award.

Chris Mannix was doing the writing for Sports Illustrated.

Mannix wrote that Harris "has delivered, with averages of 21.8 points and 7.0 assists; the only players with better numbers in both those categories are (LeBron) James, (Dwyane) Wade, and (Chris) Paul."
