Jamal Crawford

The popular choice across the league is Los Angeles Clippers scoring machine, Jamal Crawford. Here is what our staff had to say.

“The favorite as it has been for the last 3 years is Jamal Crawford. This is my favorite to win the 6th man, too. His relentless scoring ability and to do it in such a short period of time off the bench is second to none. There are going to be candidates that will score and fill up the stats off the bench but Crawford’s impact is always felt so much and is so consistent that it will be difficult to look elsewhere for the best guy off the bench for any team this year.”

– Ricky Castro

“This award has been held down by a few of the same names over the last couple of years and it’ll be no different this year either. When it comes to coming off the bench and lighting up the scoreboard, there’s no one better than Jamal Crawford of the Los Angeles Clippers. Crawford is one of the NBA’s purest scorers and the Clips will certainly need Crawford at the top of his game this season as they try to push through their past playoff woes. If Crawford can stay healthy, I don’t think there’s anyway he doesn’t get this award.”
