NBA Sixth Man Of The Year Betting Favorite: Malik Monk, Sacramento Kings
Only ten total points in the votes separated Monk and winner Naz Reid last season, with the difference being just a pair of first-place votes as the two players had an equal amount for both second and third place.
Monk just re-signed with the Kings on a fresh four-year contract worth $78 million following a career year in which he averaged 15.4 points and 5.1 assists across 72 appearances. The issue, though, was that his numbers took a massive hit over the final stretch of the season, shooting just a smidge over 35 percent from the field and a disastrous 8.3 percent from 3-point range over his last 15 outings as Reid made a strong push to steal the honor.
If Monk can avoid such a cataclysmic decline next season, then he'll undoubtedly be in the conversation once again.
