Arturas Karnisovas didn’t have a vote.

If the Bulls executive vice president of basketball operations did it would be a no-brainer in regards to the NBA’s 2024 Most Improved Player Award.

“He’s made huge strides,” Karnisovas said of guard Coby White on Saturday. “For me, he’s most improved player this year.”

The voters said differently.

Prior to Tuesday night’s NBA playoff games, the league announced that Philadelphia guard Tyrese Maxey was voted the Most Improved Player of the Year, beating out second-place White and Houston big man Alperen Sengun.

While White’s numbers took a bigger jump from last season to this season’s campaign, where Maxey pulled away was on the national spotlight.
