The 3 Favorites To Win The 2023 6th Man Of The Year Award
According to SISportsbook, Jordan Poole (Golden State Warriors), Tyler Herro (Miami Heat) and Malcolm Brogdon (Boston Celtics) are the three favorites to win The 2023 6th Man of The Year Award.
Odds:
- Poole: +450
- Herro +500
- Brogdon +1,000
Interestingly enough, Herro who won the award in 2022, is not the favorite for 2023.
Instead, Warriors star Poole is given the slight edge over Herro.
One of the reasons for that could be the fact that Poole has a much higher chance of staying in a reserve role.
There is a good case to be made that Herro should actually be a starter on the Heat.
Last season, he was phenomenal averaging 20.7 points per contest on nearly 40% shooting from the three-point range.
The Heat were the first seed in the Eastern Conference.
As for Poole, he averaged 18.5 points per game on 36.4% shooting from the three-point range.
He also plays on a team that already has Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, so he is never going to surpass them.
As for Herro, there is a bigger role to be had, because outside of Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry is 36-years-old and missed 19 games last season during the regular season.
The other name in the top-three is Brogdon, which is extremely intriguing.
It would be a major gamble, but there could be some serious value there.
Brogdon is a starting guard, but the Celtics are so deep that he may have to run with the second unit.
He averaged 19.1 points per game last season with 5.1 rebounds and 5.9 assists for the Indiana Pacers.
