3 players who could steal the Sixth Man of the Year award from LA Clippers star

2. Caris LeVert

Often, sixth men are prone to inefficiency. That's why they don't fit with the starters. We're usually talking about talented scorers who can take over games - for better or for worse. 

Caris LeVert fits the profile. His 51.6 True Shooting % (TS%) won't win him any friends around the NBA. Is he a viable Sixth Man of the Year candidate? 

Absolutely. LeVert is inconsistent, but when he gets hot, he's unconscious. There have been several games throughout this season that the Cavaliers would not have won if not for his performance. 

The NBA could reward LeVert for those games. At the same time, his inefficiency could count against him. Unfortunately for Clippers fans, there's another candidate who's been a little more consistent.
