Ricky Davis 6th Man Award Watch
Quote:
Red Auerbach has widely been credited with developing the sixth man role in basketball. His thinking was that if you take one of your top scorers and bring him off the bench, he'll be matched up with one of the opponents' weaker players when he enters the game.

Auerbach brought sixth men to the Celtics such as John Havlicek, Kevin McHale, Bill Walton and the first sixth man Frank Ramsey, which only makes it fitting that the 2004-05 Celtics have returned to their sixth man roots with one of the league's best, Ricky Davis.

Davis, who was penciled in as a starter coming out of training camp, was moved to the bench after just seven games. Skeptics wondered if Davis would accept the role, or even sulk and cause problems. But Davis has more than accepted the move— he's embraced his role as the Celtics energizer and big time scorer off the bench.

But Davis' role has been more than just the normal sixth man coming off the bench and scoring. Another reason for the move was that the second unit was filled with so many young and promising, but still inexperienced, players. The second unit needed a stabilizing force, something Davis has provided.

"Of course I would love to start," said Davis. "But if I can help this team win more games as the sixth man, then I'm all for it. Our second unit needed a lift and a go to guy, so I love being their leader."

Re: Ricky Davis 6th Man Award Watch
Ricky did everything he could. He was even guarding AI on D.
Great game by Ricky too bad it's overshadowed by a loss.

Re: Ricky Davis 6th Man Award Watch
Ricky Davis had an "off" night, tonight, but he still contributed. He relied too much on his outside jumper and didn't take it to the hoop as much as I'd like to see. Making up for his poor shooting, was his assists (7), good defense (2 steals), and rebounding (4).

Re: Ricky Davis 6th Man Award Watch
Ricky is going to win this award hands down, the only other legit candidate is Ben Gordon and I don't see them giving it to the rookie who doesn't play defense...Gordon is good but Ricky is THE MAN this season

Re: Ricky Davis 6th Man Award Watch
Ricky Davis played decently today. He had some shooting woes, but still contributed (even if it didn't matter as the Nets rout the Celtics).
