Suns’ Dragic Most Improved Player

Suns guard Goran Dragic was the runaway winner for the NBA’s Most Improved Player award, the league announced Wednesday.

Dragic finished with 408 points, including 65 first-place votes. The Pacers’ Lance Stephenson and the Hornets’ Anthony Davis finished second and third. Voting is done by a panel of 126 sportswriters and broadcasters in the United States and Canada.

Hawks forward Paul Millsap, who was named to his first All-Star Game this season, received one third-place vote.

Per policy, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution does not participate in voting for postseason awards.
