Uncover the Surprising NBA Award Favorites That Data Experts Didn’t See Coming This Season
Other Contenders
V.J. Edgecombe, Philadelphia 76ers; Cedric Coward, Memphis Grizzlies; Ace Bailey, Utah Jazz
NBA Sixth Man Of the Year
Methodology: Since 2001-02, every player who has won the 6MOY award has averaged at least 13 PPG, so we’ve looked at the DRIP of every bench player (at least 30 games played off the bench) averaging at least that mark. Like ROY, the 65-game/20-minutes-per-game rule does not apply.
1. Reed Sheppard, Houston Rockets (0.18 DRIP)
Sheppard has quickly dispelled any previous notion he may be a bust with his sophomore campaign. He’s averaged 13.2 PPG and 3.2 APG while shooting 39.6% from beyond the arc while coming off the bench for 51 of his 60 appearances. Funny enough, DRIP views him slightly higher on defense (0.17 D-DRIP) than on offense (0.01 O-DRIP), likely because of his incredible hands, as he ranks in the 93rd percentile in steal rate and the 69th percentile in block rate.
