6th man of the year candidates9/2/2023 Points: 22.0 | Rebounds: 2.6 | Assists: 1.0įield goals: 49 per cent | Three-pointers: 43 per cent | Free throws: 91 per cent To be eligible for this award, a player must come off the bench in more games than he starts. Why do we even award something to the sixth man anyway? Surely the second to fifth man is more valuable and deserves an award instead. It appears nowadays this award should be renamed the ‘semi-efficient burst scorer off the bench who cannot start due to a team’s lack of scoring options off the bench, available minutes in the starting line-up and/or defence’, although that might not fit on the award. The Los Angeles Clippers have won five of the last seven sixth man of the year 6MOY awards, two of those going to Lou Williams due to his scoring bursts off the bench.
