Jordan Clarkson is the betting favorite to be the NBA 6th Man of the Year this year. And for good reason. Through the first half of the season, Clarkson was an absolute killer of the bench. Look at his numbers through the first 28 games:
- 18.2 points (25.3 per36)
- 4.1 rebounds
- 2.1 assists
- 39% from 3
- 114 Offensive Rating
- 109 Defensive Rating
- 60% True Shooting Percentage
He was the runaway favorite for the year. It honestly looked like his reward to lose, but he’s cooled off quite a bit since then.
