Hassan Whiteside will be eligible for Most Improved Player of the Year
consideration.
Whiteside was previously uncertain if he qualified for it.
尽管先前的资格被不少人甚至自己本身质疑，不过联盟已经正式宣布：今年在热火打出
身价的中锋Hassan Whiteside，可以被列入“最佳进步奖”的票选范围中。
The NBA clarified to the Sun Sentinel, "The only players who are not eligible
are rookies and first-year players."
NBA官方特地发函给迈阿密当地媒体：“唯一无法被票选最佳进步奖的条件，只有球员为
当年的新秀，或是第一年在NBA打球。”
The ballot reads: "This award is designed to honor an up-and-coming player
who has made a dramatic improvement from the previous season or seasons. It
is not intended to be given to a player who has made a 'comeback.'
Whiteside在最佳进步奖的资格先前引起争议，多少跟官方对此奖的说明有关：
“最佳进步奖的目的是为了表扬在当年NBA表现跟过去球季相比，有巨幅进步的潜力
球员，并不会特地给予在经历受伤或加入其他篮球联盟等事件后，再‘回到NBA球赛’
的球员。”
Please vote for three players. Five points will be awarded for a first place
vote, three for second and one for third."
拥有“最佳进步奖”投票权的媒体工作者可以投给三位球员并依喜好程度做排名，第一
名的球员可获得5分，第二名3分、第三名1分。
