Gradual improvements and regressions to MBA players, as noted on these sheets, accounted for a vast majority of the changes going into the Season 58 campaign. But five players showed stunning improvements that should show up on the tabletop this season. They are:
-- Guard Rabbit Munchers of Sacramento, who added a good in the 3-point column on number 10. As someone who shoots a ton of treys, Munchers will be relied on to carry a major offensive load as the River Dogs fight to stay out of the cellar. Another last-place would make them eligible for a roll to change cities (and possibly disband).
-- Center Blob Dylan of Philadelphia, already one of the top rim protectors in the league, filled in the blank against the shot with a deny shot on 9. Five through 11 are now defenses against an opponent's shot.
-- Longtime forward Eddie "the Milkman" Creamer of San Jose, entering his 14th season, continues to buck the odds. This off season he improved his rebounding in each area and is now a 19 defensive rebounder and 14 on offense. He already has one rebounding title to his credit and will definitely compete for another.
-- Los Angeles super substitute guard Donny Dupons, already a defensive ballhawk,improved his defense against both the pass and dribble and added a swish to his medium shot. Dupons is a 3 against the dribble and a 5 against the pass. He has already led the league in steals one time.
-- Another Los Angeles substitute, forward Big "Blue" Bottle, will shoot more in his best zone, the short shot, and block more shots thanks to changing a forced miss into a block on 8.
Sacramento had the most players improving by three or more times, with the aforementioned Munchers joined by free agent guard Bellybutton Inquisition and backup center Bing Bong.
