Is Stephen Curry both MVP and most improved player?

NBA, Golden State Warriors

Last week as a guest analyst on ESPN's NBA Countdown, Golden State Warriors forward Harrison Barnes delivered a hot take regarding teammate Stephen Curry.

Could Barnes be right?

Well, Curry is already the front-runner to repeat as MVP, but the Most Improved Player award typically goes to guys who surprise us by breaking out of the pack.

Last season, for instance, Jimmy Butler of the Chicago Bulls won the award by leaping from role player to star in a single season.

So the award doesn't really fit Curry. Or does it? Who is doing more to break out of the pack than Curry?
