More than Paul George, Gordon Hayward, and Paskal Siakam. More than Ben Simmons, Bradley Beal, and Jason Tatum. He has more win shares than Nikola Vucevic, Khris Middleton, and Jamal Murray. To prove his overall value, his offensive rating is 136! On the best offensive team in the league by the way. He’s a great facilitator and offensive initiator as well. So he’s not just a perfect floor spacer when he enters the game. His Assist to Turnover Ration of 2.56 is 2nd only to Mike Conley. He’s crucial to the playmaking and ball handling off the bench as well. I mean, we are nearly 50 games in to the season and he’s at 50% from three as a high-volume 3 point shooter.īut that’s not all he does. And he’s been sustaining it over a shocking number of games as well. The distance from Ingles to 2nd place is as big as the distance from 2nd to 19th.

He’s the league leader in True Shooting %.

No player under 7 ft has been in the top 10 for single-season eFG%.

He’s hit exactly half of his 246 3’s so far (#’s prior to last night’s game).

He currently has the best single-season effective field-goal percentage of any perimeter player in NBA history.

And who is making up the most ground?Īnd if Ingles continues the way he’s playing right now, he probably does end up catching him. He’s still the current favorite, but those odds are no longer as far in his favor. It honestly looked like his reward to lose, but he’s cooled off quite a bit since then. He was the runaway favorite for the year. Look at his numbers through the first 28 games: Through the first half of the season, Clarkson was an absolute killer of the bench.

Jordan Clarkson is the betting favorite to be the NBA 6th Man of the Year this year.

Sixth man of the year 2016
