In a 2019-20 NBA season utterly unlike anything proceeding it, Los Angeles Clippers’ forward Montrezl Harrell brought home the NBA Sixth Man of the Year Award after averaging 18.6 points and 7.1 rebounds to go along with a league-leading 11 double-doubles coming off the bench.
Now on the Los Angeles Lakers, Harrell is still a top-five candidate to repeat after most squads have played approximately 30 games, but it’s currently the Utah Jazz’s Jordan Clarkson’s award to lose.
Drafted late in the second round of the 2014 NBA Draft, the point guard’s critical role off the bench is a big reason for the Jazz’s league-best 25-6 record out the gate. The former Missouri star is averaging 18.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists on 44.7 percent shooting from the field.
It’s all incredibly impressive for a guy playing 26.2 minutes per contest.
