Why is Victor Wembanyama the Favorite to Win Most Improved Player?

Victor Wembanyama is currently favored to win the NBA's Most Improved Player award for the 2024-25 NBA season, which would be weird, because Victor Wembanyama is heading into his second season in the NBA.

But believe it or not, a second-year player winning Most Improved Player has happened more often than you probably think, although it's still highly unusual.

Additionally, with how good Wemby already was during his rookie season, it makes things even more difficult in terms of the kind of improvement he'd need to have in order to stand out in the race.

So with how the MIP award has typically been treated throughout the course of NBA history, should Victor Wembanyama really be the favorite?
