The Atlanta Hawks made some noise in the Eastern Conference last year, as they reached the Conference Finals. It was clear that the Hawks were letting the rest of the league know that they were going to be contenders moving forward.

The Hawks have gotten off to another solid start this year. One of the major reasons behind that has been the surge of young and talented wing Cam Reddish.

After selecting him as tenth overall in 2019, the Hawks hoped Reddish would eventually become a dangerous weapon on their roster. It looks as if Reddish is finally taking the leap, as he's been fabulous to start the year for Atlanta.

In the opening week of the season, Reddish averaged 19.5 points per game while shooting an eye-opening 66.7% from downtown. If Reddish can continue to take strides in his game, he will be a serious contender for the Sixth Man of the Year award.

After winning the Sixth Man of the Year last year with the Utah Jazz, Jordan Clarkson has become one of the most lethal assets off the bench in the entire NBA.

Clarkson will be heavily involved in any conversation for the award this year, as he has the ability to take over a game with his scoring ability. So far, Clarkson has been solid to start the year, as he has averaged 16.5 points per game over two matches.

There's plenty of talent that will be chasing Clarkson on this list, but he also has the potential to go on a serious streak of impressive games. With the talent the Utah Jazz have this year, Clarkson will have plenty of opportunities to show that he is still one of the league's top Sixth men.

After an impressive offseason that saw the Miami Heat add some serious firepower to their roster, many expect the team to be one of the toughest opponents in the entire NBA.

So far, the Heat have looked the part, and one of the main reasons for that is the dominant play of Tyler Herro off the bench. The floor-spacing weapon has been off to a sensational start in the 2021-22 NBA campaign, as he has averaged 28.5 points per game during the opening week of the year.

Tyler Herro exploded during his rookie season, impressing with his ability to score from all over the floor. After an up-and-down second year, Herro finally looks ready to bounce back and take another leap forward. So far, he's off to a great start ,and will be heavily involved in any Sixth Man of the Year conversations moving forward.
