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.
