The Detroit Pistons may not be the most talented team in the NBA, but they may have one of the best chances to produce the sixth man of the year in 2015-2016 with three legitimate candidates.
Perhaps the biggest criteria for winning the sixth man of the year award is scoring. Only three times has a player won the award without scoring double digits (Anthony Mason 1994-1995, Bill Walton 1984-1986, Bobby Jones 1982-1983).
From what we’ve seen in the preseason so far, the Pistons will likely be bringing either rookie Stanley Johnson or veteran Marcus Morris off the bench–both have shown a propensity to score with Johnson averaging 15.
