NBA Sixth Man of the Year 2020: November Power Rankings

#2 Spencer Dinwiddie - Brooklyn Nets

Spencer Dinwiddie has averaged almost 20 points from Brooklyn's bench

After establishing himself as a starter for the Brooklyn Nets during the 2017-18 campaign, Spencer Dinwiddie returned to the bench last season and enjoyed the best season of his career as he averaged 16.8 points and 4.6 assists per game. His performances were good enough to suggest that he deserved a starting spot - although the offseason acquisition of Kyrie Irving has once again blocked his path to the starting five.

Nevertheless, Dinwiddie has once again embraced his role as Brooklyn's sixth man, and over 18 appearances this season, the 26-year-old has averaged 19.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game. Admittedly the point guard has only shot 41% from the field, although Dinwiddie has given the Nets a huge lift from the bench on a nightly basis, and he will serve as a huge threat to Williams.

#1 Lou Williams - Los Angeles Clippers

Lou Williams has already won the Sixth Man of the Year Award on three occasions

Following a series of excellent performances during the 2018-19 season, Lou Williams was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year for the third time. All of his titles have come in the past five seasons, and the veteran appears well on course to become the first player in NBA history to win the award for the fourth time.

Despite turning 33 last month, Williams has demonstrated no signs of slowing down during the early weeks of the season, and the guard is currently averaging 22.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 6.2 assists per game. His impact from the bench has been a turning point in several games for the Clippers this season, and his presence on one of the NBA's best teams will only help his quest to win the award for the fourth time.
