Who Is NBA's Sixth Man of the Year?

1. Manu Ginobili |
Edwards Says: "I don't think there's any discussion here. Manu has been the Spurs' best and most consistent player this season, and he's done it while coming off the bench. He's got career-best averages in points, rebounds and assists, he's shooting over .400 from 3-point range and he has 20 games of 25 points or more. This one's a no-brainer. Childress is playing almost 30 minutes a game, he's shooting .578 from the field for the season, and is a key reason that the Hawks are in line for a playoff spot. Maxiell doesn't get as many minutes as the other guys, but makes a huge impact when he gets the time, especially on the defensive end of the floor." |

Kim Says: "If the Spurs repeat this year, it'll be because of the year Manu's having. That makes Ginobili an easy choice. Barbosa's numbers might not be quite as impressive as last season, but his speed off the pine is a wicked changeup for Phoenix to toss at opponents. And Childress gets the nod over Travis Outlaw, because he's so steady and efficient. Honestly, J-Chill could be one of the most unsung players in the game." |

Spears Says: "It's crazy that a player can average almost 20 points per game and be an All-Star candidate off the bench. Manu is an easy call for this award." |

Watson Says: "Could Manu Ginobili start for the Spurs? That's a stupid question; he could start for 95 percent of the teams in the league. But the fact that he's embraced a (slightly) lesser role allows the Spurs to stagger the playing time of their Big Three and ensure that no one gets lost in the shuffle. Barbosa and Gordon are obvious picks, but I wish I had another vote for Josh Childress, a do-everything glue guy for the playoff-bound Hawks." |

Ziller Says: "David Lee's the best big man on the Knicks, and Manu Ginobili might have taken the title of Most Valuable Spur off Tim Duncan's hand this season. Josh Childress, though, gets painfully little attention for the amazing work he's done in Atlanta this season. Childress is among the league's most efficient shooters, and plays solid defense and mistake-free ball for the Hawks. He'll never approach Manu in this race (and he shouldn't), but he's worthy of the hardware." |

He is a threat when he comes off the bench and he prefers to do as well.

If he's the "Spurs' best and most consistent player this season" why's he coming off the bench? He's really a starter, getting starter minutes coming of the bench. Stupid award!!!
