Most Improved Player

At the April 1, 2008 awards banquet the Bulls will receive at lea.st one championship trophy. Additionally, there will be some individual awards. One of those awards is for the team's most improved player.

This decision is a difficult one. Each of our players has taken instruction well and has done everything that has been asked of them by the team. Each has improved in at least one area of play.

The candidates for this award are as follows:

Walter Rivas: Walter came to the team with a love for basketball and some raw talent. He is very fast afoot and possesses very quick hands. Walter learned how to use his footspeed and his quick hands to steal the ball while on defense and move the ball in transition. In addition, Walter's shot, which was very rough at the beginning, has been refined. He has had recent scoring games of six and five to contribute to the Bulls' success.

Iain Wright: Iain is perhaps the most intelligent of the Bulls. He learns very quickly. He is able to hear an instruction and process it in the short time of a thirty second timeout. Iain is not a scorer. Rather he is our great unsung hero. He tirelessly sets picks and screens. He gets down on the floor to get loose balls. He pulls down rebounds.

Devon Levine: Devon is the smallest of the Bulls, but he plays like a young man who is much larger. Halfway through the season, the Bulls were struggling to get rebounds, and I charged the team with the mission of getting more rebounds. Devon taught himself how to get into position and pull down rebounds.

The most improved player will be announced at the banquet.
