1997 - Antoine Walker (SEA) - Improvement Score = 5.19
1998 - Stephen Jackson (CHI) - Improvement Score = 4.29
1999 - Kobe Bryant (LAC) - Improvement Score = 2.34
2000 - Anthony Parker (GSW) - Improvement Score = 5.74
2001 - Michael Redd (DEN) - Improvement Score = 6.53
2002 - Bonzi Wells (POR) - Improvement Score = 5.04
2003 - Zach Randolph (CHI) - Improvement Score = 3.05
2004 - Gilbert Arenas (VAN) - Improvement Score = 6.08
2005 - Devin Harris (TOR) - Improvement Score = 2.82
2006 - Dirk Nowitzki (LAC) - Improvement Score = 3.37
2007 - Andre Iguodala (VAN) - Improvement Score = 5.36
2008 - Andrew Bynum (SEA) - Improvement Score = 4.67
2009 - Marc Gasol (SAC) - Improvement Score = 5.27
2010 - Ersan Ilyasova (MIA) - Improvement Score = 4.27
Obviously, this is a bit subjective, but I've tried to come up with a way to quantify a player's improvement from one season to the next. This is solely based on a player's production on a per-minute basis. As a rule of thumb, I tried to ignore second-year players for consideration. I'm not saying it's impossible for a sophomore to win it, but it'd have to be an overwhelming case.
