The Raptors may not make the playoffs, but the team could win a consolation prize of sorts. Forward Donyell Marshall is gaining more and more consideration for the NBA's Sixth Man Award, which is selected by writers and broadcasters covering the league.

He's had a good second half, that's for sure, and it may be closer than some people may think.
Early on in the season Turkoglu, Radman, Stackhouse and Mason seemed to be top contenders for the award, but since then, it's really tightened up.
Turkoglu has cooled down a bit, as has Radmanovic. Stackhouse has been bugged by injuries, which has caused him to msis some games, and Mason has been inserted into the starting lineup.
Marshall may have a chance.

Ben Gordon is the 6th man of the year right now. He's probably the frontrunner for rookie of the year, too. Marshall is going to have to get healthy and finish the season strong if he wants to win 6th man.

It's possible for Marshall to get this..

Marshall

Gordan

Gordon's season has been a lot more dramatic. Didn't he lead the entire league in 4th quarter scoring? He'll get the votes for sure

 

[madman]

we have had a bunch of deserving players in the past hopefully Marshall can pick it up

Neither of them will get it, it's all Ricky Davis.

They like to give the award to players that help the team make the playoffs, too, though.

I agree with you there...

 

[ansoncarter]

eff stats don't account for what Gordon does in 4th quarters

I think he's going to get the most votes if he finishes strong

Good point..well actually i think Earl Boykins has a pretty good chance of winning the 6th man award

Ricky Davis has been putting up killer numbers this year, and the Celtics are playoff bound.

I definately think he's the favorite.
Donyell is in the top 5, and he does have an outside shot at it, but I would be very surprised if he actually won the award.

Marshall

Gordan

Davis

 

[TOballer]

given Chicago's success i say Gordon takes it...even though D. Marshall is more deserving.
