OAKLAND — With a torrid month of March, which has included 24 dunks, huge shots, great defense and needed production in Kevin Durant’s absence, Andre Iguodala is making a late push for the Sixth Man of the Year award.
Iguodala only averages 7.3 points per game, which isn’t among the NBA’s top 100 bench players in scoring per game. The award typically goes to one of the league’s highest scoring reserves. But during his pregame availability on Friday, Steve Kerr pleaded with award voters to consider Iguodala, who, he said, contributes to “winning” more than any other reserve in the league.
