Can Anfernee Simons win the Most Improved Player award?

It's the latest Special Delivery Mailbag from Locked On Blazers! It's time to answer your questions about Anfernee Simons taking home some hardware at the end of the season. The show starts with a discussion of Simons' Most Improved Player award candidacy, current front runners for the award, and other players across the league that will likely be on the ballot. Our next question wonders whether Simons and Damian Lillard can thrive as a backcourt pair. And ponders how it might be any different than CJ McCollum and Lillard of the past six seasons? Does the Ant-Dame pairing have a higher ceiling or similar one albeit to the previous back court in the Rose City. And finally we close the show talking about passing. The Blazers offense has been moving the ball much better lately, increasing their assists and potential assists per game steadily since the season started and drastically over the past week. Some listeners worry that Lillard's reintroduction to the lineup will put an end to this trend and style of play. Is that worth worrying about or even a likely outcome.
