NEW YORK – The Mavericks have had three players win sixth man of the year.
Jason Terry won it in 2009. Antawn Jamison did so in 2004. And the late Roy Tarpley took home the hardware in 1988.
It’s not too early to start the campaign for Christian Wood to be the fourth Maverick to win the NBA’s award for best off-the-bench player.
The only problem would be: should he be a sixth man at all?
Remember last year when Jalen Brunson was the hottest bench player in the league for the first six weeks of the season?
