While he was not a finalist for the 6th Man Of The Year Award, Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic picked up some first-place votes and finished 5th in this y
ears voting. Minnesota Timberwolves forward Naz Reid won the award and Malik Monk , Bobby Portis, and Norman Powell finished ahead of Bogdanovic .While it was not completely surprising to see Bogdanovic left off as a finalist, I think he had a good enough season to be considered for this. Bogdanovic averaged 16.9 PPG, 3.5 RPG, and 3.1 APG while shooting 37% from three and 43% from the field. He set the Hawks single-season franchise record for three-pointers in a single season.
Here is what Lowe had to say about Bogndonovic's case to be a finalist, including him saying he thought he would get some first-place votes. "Some voters argue that rewarding Bogdanovic and Reid for their contributions as replacement starters cuts against the idea of an award intended for reserves. I have always rejected that, dating to Lamar Odom's heyday. The ability to shape-shift -- to take on whatever role the team needs -- is baked into the concept of a sixth man, or"sixth starter." Players are eligible as long as they come off the bench in more games than they start.
