Williams, who won the sixth man award in 2015, joined the Rockets mid-season and that trade helped secure Gordon's sixth man title. Williams put 14.9 points, 3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game with Houston and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Iguodala record 7.6 points, 4 rebounds and 3.4 assist for the Warriors this year. He also played his usual solid defense.
