The season is the sixth man.
One of the hardest accolades to predict before the season is the sixth man of the year since the players who excel in this position frequently move up to the starting lineup (sometimes to cover an injury, sometimes to get more minutes).
In this year's preseason Sixth Man of the Year odds, some well-known players are at the top. For instance, Miami's Tyler Herro, the current award winner, wants to start this season and will likely get the chance.
Many well-known individuals are at the top of the list, with Herro in the preseason odds for the 2023 Sixth Man of the Year award from NBC's partner at Points Bet. The top 12 are as follows:
Warriors' Jordan Poole (+400)
+1 650 Tyler Herro (Heat)
Celtics Malcolm Brogdon (+1000)
Nuggets: Bones Hyland (+1400)
+1800 Jordan Clarkson (Jazz)
(Mavericks) Spencer Dinwiddie + 2000
(Clippers) Norman Powell plus 2000
(Grizzlies) Brandon Clarke + 2200
The Trail Blazers Anfernee Simons (+2500)
Kevin Love (+2500; Cavaliers)
(Knicks) Immanuel Quickley +2500
Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic (+2500)
Quick observations regarding that list
Poole ought to be the front-runner. He has a good chance of winning.
Jordan Clarkson is a volume scorer off the bench who has won the Sixth Man of the Year award in the past. However, his prospects of winning will depend on where he is traded. He might be the next seasoned jazz player to go on.
Herro wants to start, as was already mentioned, and he probably will in Miami
• Kevin Love came in second in the poll last year, and his squad is about to enjoy even greater visibility and success. He is a genuine contender for this prize and has accepted his job.
• If Bones Hyland can improve in his second season, he is a sneakily wise choice. He will most definitely have the chance.
• Norman Powell, who coaches a talented Clippers bench for a team that will win many games, might be my choice, but how many games will he start this year? Kawhi Leonard and Paul George may struggle to remain healthy.
