Eric Gordon has been one of the most valuable sixth men in the league in his past 2 seasons at H-Town.

This notion is borne out by the Sixth Man of the Year trophy he won during the 2016-17 season - he raised his scoring averages by nearly two points per game this season, but that didn't stop Lou Williams from bagging another six MOTY title to his list of accomplishments in the league (deservedly so, obviously).

Gordon is an important part of the Rocket's three-pointer-trigger-happy style of play. He spaces the floor in a manner that few other guards in the league can, in addition to being a pretty good slasher into the paint area.

Gordon is built like a tank, and this helps him take up bigger assignments on defense as well. His net rating of 13.1 points per 100 possessions places him at second on this list.
