It seems as if each week the story remains the same with Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson. The Jazz (10-5) have continued to be one of the stronger teams in the Western Conference, while Clarkson has shown signs of life but has struggled with consistency as a shooter.

It seems as if it's only a matter of time before Clarkson catches fire and starts to make some noise in these rankings. Last year's NBA Sixth Man of the Year, Clarkson will have his work cut out if he wants to try to catch the competition on this list. So far this year he's averaging 15.2 ppg and is shooting 35.8% from the field.

Montrezl Harrell continues to be one of the most impressive offseason additions for any team in the NBA this year. Harrell has been magnificent with his play off the bench for the Washington Wizards. After a disappointing previous season with the LA Lakers, Harrell has sparked life back into his game with the Wizards.

The team has been thriving as well, with Washington (10-5) among the Eastern Conference leaders. It was another strong week for the Wizards and Harrell, as the energetic forward averaged 19.0 points and 7.0 rebounds per game while shooting 68.8% from the field. He continues to be second on this list.

It remains to be seen if anyone in the NBA can knock Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro off the top of the Sixth Man of the Year power rankings. Herro has simply been too good for the rest of the competition. The play of the sharpshooting wing, who has seen a jump in production across the board, has been a major reason why the Miami Heat (11-5) have been one of the NBA's best teams.

Although the Heat struggled last week, Herro still produced when the team needed him. He averaged 22.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game while shooting 26.7% from 3-point range. Although it was a bad stretch of games, Herro still continues to be one of the most dangerous bench assets in the entire NBA. He's going to be a tough one to catch for Sixth Man of the Year.
