Last season, in his first year with the Rockets, Eric Gordon won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year award. He’s nominated for the second year in a row, this time alongside the LA Clippers’ Lou Williams and Toronto’s Fred VanVleet.
Gordon started 30 of his 69 games this season. In the 39 in which he came off the bench, he averaged 15.3 points and 2.2 assists per game and shot 34.4 percent from three-point range.
