DeRozan is costing Fox the Most Improved Player award

Conclusion
DeRozan is a deserving winner of the Most Improved Player award. He has had a breakout season, and he has helped the Bulls become one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Fox is a rising star, but he is not yet ready to win the award. He needs to continue to improve his game, and he needs to lead the Kings to the playoffs.
