#4 Bogdan Bogdanović - Sacramento Kings
Bogdan Bogdanović was the breakout star at the 2019 FIBA World Cup, and while the Serbian has not been able to break into Luke Walton's starting five - he has been able to further add to his reputation as one of the NBA's elite bench players. Over 16 appearances for the Sacremento Kings this season, Bogdanovic has averaged 15.3 points, 4.8 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 steals.
The 27-year-old is also shooting a career-high 39.3% on 7.3 three-point attempts per contest, and there are few better shooters from beyond the arc currently playing in the NBA. Bogdanovic may opt to leave the Kings at the end of the season as he looks to secure a bigger role, and being named Sixth Man of the Year could also help him secure a bigger payday.

#3 Goran Dragic - Miami Heat
The Miami Heat spent much of the offseason trying to trade Goran Dragic, although the point guard eventually stuck around after several potential deals fell through. The 33-year-old's long-term future still appears to be away from Miami, however, he is currently excelling in his new bench role.
Throughout his previous five seasons with the Heat, Dragic was a guaranteed starter, although after losing his spot to Justise Winslow, the Slovenian has quickly developed into one of the NBA's best spot-up shooters. Over 16 appearances from the bench this season, Dragic has averaged 15.2 points 3.5 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game and the guard is also shooting a near career-high 41% from beyond the arc.
