NBA: Top 5 Contenders for 'Sixth Man' of the Year Award

Who the No.1 contender?
Who the No.1 contender?

#3 Eric Gordon

Houston Rockets v Phoenix Suns
#10 Eric Gordon

The reigning ‘Sixth Man’ of the league, the guard is a strong contender to repeat the feat this year as well. Gordon didn’t seem to have a great time in the first couple of months of the campaign starting in place of the injured Chris Paul but after the return of CP3, he went back to the bench and has been able to find his touch again.

Averaging 18.0 PPG this season, Gordon continues to be one of the best offensive players coming off the bench in the entire league. Not surprising, he is the Rocket’s third-best scorer this year, though his shooting numbers from beyond the arc have seen a drop as compared to the last few seasons.
