The Washington Wizards have continued to be one of the more pleasant surprises throughout the 2021-22 NBA regular season. One of the main reasons for the Wizards strong play this year has been the impressive production of Sixth Man Montrezl Harrell.

The energetic forward has become a sensational addition for the Wizards and has done a great job of filling up the box scores when it comes to scoring and rebounding for Washington.

A former Sixth Man of the Year award winner, Harrell has looked like his old self this year with his new team. After putting up some eye-opening numbers during the beginning of the year, Harrell has started to see his production come down to earth a bit. Still, the veteran forward has consistently produced at an impressive level as he's currently averaging 14.5 points and 7.4 rebounds a game this year.

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro has continued to be one of the most impressive players throughout the 2021-22 NBA season.

After showing some signs early in his career as a potential volume scorer, Herro has seen serious improvement in his all-around game this year and has become a favorite for the Sixth Man of the Year award. The Miami Heat guard has developed into one of the most dangerous bench assets throughout the NBA and has flourished with his play on the court.
