I’m sitting here watching the sorry Washington Wizards training camp on NBA TV and they’re talks that Gilbert Arenas is not 100% and might come off the bench. Common sense will tell you that won’t happen but that got me to think who will win the NBA 6th Man Award this season? Ben Gordon is now a starter with the Detroit Pistons the 6th man of the year will come from that organization. The winner is……..Chicago’s very own Will “The Thrill” Bynum.
The Thrill came on very strong after the Allen Iverson’s “season ending injury”. Not Isiah Thomas, Joe Dumars, Vinnie Johnson, Bill Lambear, Rip, Chauncey, or ‘Sheed, Jerry Stackhouse but Bynum holds the franchise record for most points in a 4th quarter with 26. Coming out of Craine HS (aka Handles U…see Collins, Sherron) his ball handling skills have always been lethal and playing with a mad heart, he’s making Chicago very proud. Why Bynum for 6th man?
It’s simple the Pistons are in a rebuilding phase and with my prediction of Rip Hamilton being traded early in the season, that will move Ben Gordon into the starting lineup with Will Bynum being the first player off the bench. He’s become a better point guard since his stint overseas and should be able to penetrate and get to the rim with ease this coming season. Just a quick is TJ Ford, Derrick Rose, and Chris Paul, Bynum also has the springs like Ronnie Fields to dunk and any defender from 5′10 to 7′0. Mark my word that this prediction will come true with Jason Terry coming in second.
Stay tune to my next blog as I make updates to the upcoming seasons.
