As expected, James Harden was today named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year. The Thunder reserve was handed the award in a presentation earlier today which was attended by the entire Oklahoma City coaching staff and a majority of the playing group as well.
Harden led all reserve players with a career-high 16.8-point average, along with 4.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.4 minutes per game.
