One of the most underrated acquisitions of the NBA off-season was the Toronto Raptors making a trade with the Atlanta Hawks for shooting guard Lou Williams. The move paid off for The Raptors big time. When DeMar DeRozan went down most people thought the Raptors would take a step back. Lou Williams didn’t let that happen, as that’s a major reason why he was named the NBA’s 6th man of the year.

The results from voting:

1: Lou Williams (502 points)

2: Isiah Thomas (324 points)

3: Jamal Crawford (131 points)

4: Andre Iguodala (100 points)

5: Tristan Thompson (33 points)

6: Nikola Mirotic (24 points)

7: Marreese Speights (20 points)

8: Corey Brewer (12 points)

9: Manu Ginobili (12 points)

10: Taj Gibson (8 points)

11: Aaron Brooks (1 point)

12: Chris Kaman (1 point)

13: Anthony Morrow (1 point)

14: Dennis Schroder (1 point)

Williams’ 6th man award is the first of his career, as he finished the season averaging 15.5 points, 1.9 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game in his first season with the Raptors.
