The internet is outraged (and if you care about these awards, then justifiably so) that Jamal Crawford won the 6th Man of the Year award again. It’s his third time, but there were definitely more deserving candidates. I bet a lot of the complainers would be placated if you lopped Crawford off the top and stuck him somewhere after the fifth spot occupied by…
OH HEY LOOKEY HERE… EVAN TURNER!
Here’s the vote:
The three first place votes for Turner came from Gary Washburn, Ric Bucher from Bleacher Report, and Mike Crispino from the MSG Network.
I think my vote would have gone for Iggy, Turner, and Jeremy Lin.
Yes, I know some of you are still shocked by that, but 2016 Evan Turner has mostly been hugely important for the Celtics. Anyone can see that, and I think this level of recognition, while not as high as I think it should be, is a nice validation of Turner’s work and progress with the Celtics.
