Monty Williams talks Greivis Vasquez

New Orleans Pelicans head coach Monty Williams was disappointed that his starting point guard Greivis Vasquez didn't win the NBA's Most Improved Player of the Year award after Vasquez almost doubled all of his career averages.  Despite not winning the award, Vasquez did come in 2nd place behind Pacers F Paul George.

"I felt bad for Greivis because he worked really hard to have a good year and him not winning it doesn't nullify or diminish the year he had," Williams said Tuesday. "In looking at the players on that list, there are a lot of guys who could have won it. Greivis could have won it also.....He busted his butt all year long. It's unfortunate that Paul had a great year also. The one thing we've talked to our guys about is when we lose something, to be gracious to the guy who won. I know Greivis is really respectful of Paul. It's unfortunate, but it's a sign we're headed in the right direction."
