NBA Sixth Man of the Year 2020: February Power Rankings

#4 Goran Dragic - Miami Heat

Goran Dragic has thrived since being moved the Miami's bench

The Miami Heat were desperate to move Goran Dragic last summer, although after a move fell apart, the Slovenian has excelled in a reserve role. After appearing just 36 times last season, Dragic has featured 47 times this time around, averaging 16.3 points, 30. rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 28.3 minutes. Additionally, Dragic is shooting 45.1 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from beyond the arc and adds vital experience to a young Miami reserve unit. His consistency has also been remarkable as the 33-year-old has recorded at least double-figures in scoring in each of his last 18 apperances.

#3 Montrezl Harrell - LA Clippers

Montrezl Harrell is averaging career-highs in points and rebounds

As an upcoming free agent, Montrezl Harrell's future in Los Angeles is in doubt, although the 26-year-old's impact this season cannot be understated. Following his breakout 2018-19 season, some experts believed that Harrell would fade following the arrival of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard last summer, although the 26-year-old is currently averaging career-highs in points (18.6) and rebounds (7.0).

Harrell's ability on the defensive end has earned some well-deserved criticism, although the center adds energy to LA's offense, and is shooting an impressive 59.2 percent from the floor. Despite appearing from the bench, Harrell has also been chosen to close out games ahead of Ivica Zubac, and he will also be a huge factor in the postseason.
