Unveiling the Surprising Contenders for NBA’s Most Improved Player and Sixth Man of the Year: Could Keldon Johnson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker Shock the League?
It’s a hard argument against him, plus San Antonio does need rewarded for its terrific season. The Spurs will finish with the NBA’s second-best record behind the Thunder this season and currently have won nine-straight games and 25 of the last 27. Victor Wembanyama will finish second in MVP voting and win the Defensive Player of the Year, but that’s the only league notoriety this team will get, unless Johnson wins Sixth Man of the Year.
Even Wemby has made the case for Johnson to win the award. “He has sacrificed more than anybody on this team, in my opinion, in terms of stats and playing time,” Wembanyama said, “he’s the soul of this team, and he brings energy no matter what time of the day. I think he deserves to be the Sixth Man of the Year,” Wemby added.
