NBA most improved player so far?

I think the obvious answer is Jimmy Butler so far. He's made a huge leap this year.
And the Warriors have 3 guys that have taken their game to new levels in Klay Thmpson, Draymond Green, and Harrison Barnes. All 3 have been really good this year.
And a guy that nobody is really talking about is Tobias Harris for the Magic. He's been playing some really good ball so far this season. 18.4ppg and 7.6rebs and shooting 46.4%. He's taken his game to a new level as well.
Other guys that have improved: Jonas Valanciunas, Jordan Hill, Gordon Hayward, Patrick Beverley, etc. And I'm sure I've missed some people.
But my vote is Jimmy Butler.
Who do you think is most improved?

Yeah idk how I forget about Brandon Knight. He's been great all year 
RTR, Courtney Lee has improved as well. Great pickup by Grizz last year.

His shooting has been huge to help the Grizz have a top 10 offense this year
Posted on 12/19/14 at 6:24 pm to RTR America
Yeah he has. And he gets him some steals too.

just looked at brandon knight's stats and dont see how he belongs in the same conversation as jimmy butler for this award.
im sure there is a lot not represented in the stats, but we should at least start there

Anthony Davis

Tyreke?

It's Jimmy Butler. But Donatas Motiejunas deserves a little love. He's been great lately after looking completely overwhelmed against NBA players last year and early this year.

How does he compare to last year tho?
Posted on 12/19/14 at 7:28 pm to Lester Earl
Shabaz btw
Posted on 12/19/14 at 7:31 pm to Lester Earl
Yeah Shabazz has been solid. He should be playing more than 19mpg.
Posted on 12/19/14 at 7:38 pm to RTR America
BK's stats aren't that much better than last year's.

yeah sorry, that's what i meant.
his stats this year are VERY similar to last year's. some slight improvements and i can only assume he is playing better because i really dont ever watch him. but just box score checking, you wouldnt notice a difference. his ppg is the exact same, for example.
butler's difference is noticeable, starting with his 8 ppg more than last year. and if we are being honest, that's easily the most important statistic with regards to this award.

Definitely Brandon Knight
Posted on 12/19/14 at 8:23 pm to Roger Klarvin
Knight is making detroit look dumb for choosing jennings over him.
Posted on 12/19/14 at 8:29 pm to KG5989
On a smaller scale probably, Ben McClemore and kelly olynk have improved their play
