Lake Show Life Staff Picks For End-of-Season NBA Awards
Sixth Man of the Year: Eric Gordon
Honorable Mentions: Lou Williams, Enes Kanter
How unfair is it that the Houston Rockets have two of the frontrunners for Sixth Man of the Year on their team? Eric Gordon and Lou Williams score more individually than most second units on playoff bound teams. That’s insane.
While Lou Williams led the league in points off the bench, our staff voted for Eric Gordon, probably because it hurts too much to vote for Sweet Lou.
Gordon put up 16.3 points off the bench this season and shot 37.6 percent from behind the arc. Not too far behind him was Williams, who shot 36.5 percent from deep and averaged a crazy 17.6 points per game.
