Bobby Portis (Milwaukee Bucks), Norman Powell (Los Angeles Clippers) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (Atlanta Hawks) also received ample mention in this category. Jose Alvarado (New Orleans Pelicans), Russell Westbrook (Clippers), TJ McConnell (Indiana Pacers), Jonathan Isaac (Orlando Magic), Jaime Jaquez (Miami Heat), Tim Hardaway also received single votes.

It has already been announced that Tyrese Maxey (Philadelphia 76ers) has become the league’s most improved player. The awards ceremony will take place after the season is over.
