Dyson Daniels, the Atlanta Hawks guard, has been awarded the 2025 NBA Most Improved Player after a breakout season with the team. After joining the Hawks from the New Orleans Pelicans, Daniels achieved impressive career-highs, averaging 14.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and leading the league with 3.0 steals per game. His shooting percentage saw a significant rise, moving from 43.5% in his previous two seasons to 49.3% this year, which solidified his role as a starter in Atlanta's lineup.

The Most Improved Player Award, decided by a panel of 100 writers and broadcasters, highlights Daniels' remarkable growth and performance in a season where the Hawks finished 40-42 but faced early elimination in the play-in tournament against Orlando and Miami.
