My enthusiasm about Pek's Most Improved Player chances has been curbed, even non-existent at times, due to the lack of press he receives vs. other candidates. Nobody on NBA on ESPN picked him, they picked Ryan Anderson twice & DeMarcus Cousin's (Pek's chew toy) once I believe. Point being, this blog post was surprising. After taking their vote, it looks like Pek ran away with the award. Obviously this is not the real voting but it's ramping up my hopes...

Kia Vaughn's career-high averages in points, rebounds, steals, assists and shooting percentage helped propel her to the top of the 2011 Most Improved Player voting. Vaughn garnered 15 of the 40 panel votes from local and national sportswriters and broadcasters. She is the second straight Liberty player to receive the award, following Leilani Mitchell's 2010 selection. Knotted in second in the voting were Washington's Matee Ajavon and Tulsa's Tiffany Jackson, with 10 votes each. Despite poor season's from their respective teams, both women worked hard to insert themselves as effective team leaders. Also receiving votes were Ashley Robinson (3), Armintie Price (1) and Epiphanny Prince (1).

I liked Ball Don't Lie already, but this is a great breakdown. I think we've all seen how special Roy has become.
