Gross I assume? It’s between Pascal and Joao Pedro for me.
If it was a kids team JPVH would definitely get the most improved player award though 😂 Might be too old but I’d still give him the young player award, deserves recognition for his incredible and rapid improvement. I still can’t believe...
I think it’s because that ranking and those percentage stats are current ratings and from a week after the article was written so there have been two games since the article.
