In a surprise to no one, Tyler Herro won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award. He received 96 of 100 first-place votes; Kevin Love — the rightful winner according to John Hollinger — had three first-place votes, while Cam Johnson had one.

This award marks a nice turnaround from Herro’s uneven sophomore season. The Miami Heat’s 2019 first-round pick started the 2020-21 season in the starting lineup as the point guard.
