Norman Powell's historic Clippers season should culminate with Sixth Man of the Year
The 2023-24 NBA season has brought forth a number of players with legitimate cases for Sixth Man of the Year. Only LA Clippers guard Norman Powell, however, is having a season that has never been done before in NBA history, statistically speaking. The Sixth Man of the Year trophy, which has historically been awarded to players who score the most points off the bench, has multiple candidates vying for it this season. Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid has had a solid overall season, Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis continues to provide the scoring and rebounding his team needs, and Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk was scoring and facilitating at levels we haven't seen him reach before in his career until he suffered a regular season-ending injury.
