Who could win 6th Man Of The Year if not Rasheed?

I personally dont think he plays like a high school kid. I think he plays like an old man, hes jsut kind of a lazy guy, or thats how it appears on the court. Dont get me wrong i still think he has a decent shot and will contribute off the bench. i just feel like if you compare odom and sheed, odom seems to play a lot more aggressivley, anyways looking forward to the celtics bulls game!

Forgive me for even mentioning this, but Jamal Crawford deserves a mention here.

Dude is gonna put up huge offensive numbers. He could easily drop 16p/4a coming off the bench for a good team, and well... you know how these things go. People look at the stats and the W-L record.

I don't think it's fair but everyone only seems to look at scoring as important or relevant. The league is full of players off of the bench who can score. Give me the reserve players who can do everything else besides providing additional points.

I'll like to see a defensive minded player who rebounds a lot get a chance for a change.

If Perk gets hurt for a chunk of the year and Sheed steps into the starting lineup, wouldn't that disqualify him for 6th man?

Sheed has a very solid chance, I'd say he's right there with Terry, Ginobili, and Barbosa, giving each of the four about an equal chance.

no it wouldn't disqualify him. in 2007-2008 the year that manu ginobili won it he played in 74 games, and started 23 of them.

The NBA rule is simply you have to had came off the bench in more games than you'd started. But I don't know what happens if you split even number of games started and not started.
