BREAKING: Tyler Herro has won the Sixth Man of the Year award
The results are in and the voters have crowned Herro winner of the Sixth Man of the Year award. Herro, despite coming off the bench, was able to beat Cam Johnson and Kevin Love. However, the term “beating” does not give proper justice to the smackdown laid down. Tyler Herro destroyed them, demolished them. The points weren’t even close – for first-place or for total points.
Herro won 96 out of the 100 first-place votes as only three first-place votes went to Love, and the last first-place vote went to Johnson. In total points, we saw Herro secure 488, Love was able to secure 214, and, lastly, Johnson was able to secure 128. To show complete dominance, Herro beat out Cam Johnson by 360 total points and Love by 274 points. Honestly, something that is just demolishing beyond belief.
What gave Herro this edge on everyone?
Simply, he led the team in both fourth-quarter points per game (5.6) and clutch points per game (2.3). He was a fourth-quarter player. This team was able to put Herro in a good spot to allow him to thrive in what he does best… make shots and become an impact player beyond the realms of possibility. He has transitioned himself into being a good impact player that has been pretty consistent all season.
He even came off the bench, despite that, he was able to do things that some starters couldn’t do. His averages on the season? Herro had 20.7 PPG, 44.7 FG%, 39.9 3pt%, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 0.7 steals per game. Tyler Herro is just better than the finalists, that is fact – at least for this season.
Here is a fun fact for the day:
