#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

Rule for 6MotY: player can only have started Less than 50% of the games they played in to be eligible.

NEW RULE FOR THREADS: You are allowed to make one post about yourself (edits of your original post will be allowed) or another GM. There will NOT be any goading or attacking other candidates to create nonsense drama like previous years. Any additional BS posted in threads will be deleted. The campaigning period officially ends at the deadline listed below.

Campaigning begins now until 11:59 pm Friday. Voting period starts Monday 6/12 when ballots are sent out and will be due by 8PM on Saturday 6/17. No exceptions

I would like to nominate Khris Middleton. Except for a brief stint when injuries juggled our lineup and pushed him into a starting role for a handful of games, Khris has been a stalwart off the bench - he kept the offensive firepower coming for the Hawks any time all-stars Rudy Gay and Carmelo Anthony sit down. Because he's behind two all-stars, he doesn't get huge minutes, but he has been extremely productive when called on, averaging 12.8 ppg on .478 shooting (and .452 from three) in just 27.1 mpg. He's been super-efficient (1.29 points per shot with a .604 TS% - the only Hawks with a better TS% are Melo and Gay) while posting a 15.1 PER. That's exactly what you want from a 6th man - a guy who makes sure there is no noticeable dropoff when your starters are getting a few minutes of rest. Best of all, he's not dating a Kardashian like Kris Humphries was (with the similar names, we know that can sometimes be confusing)!

I would like to nominate Brook Lopez. Lopez had a great camp but was relegated to bench status because Rudy Gobert's superior defense. Brook has been counted on to lead the scoring charge from the bench, and he has done it admirably. 16.1 ppg and 5.2 rpg off the bench are impressive, but what is most impressive is how he's scoring: his efficiency is the best on the team by a considerable margin, with a TS% of .581. Brook has had to step in because of multiple injuries to literally everyone on the squad (and he has missed time himself) but he has been arguably the 2nd or 3rd best player on a team full of young studs projected to be better than him. He deserves consideration for 6MOY.

I nominate Victor Oladipo as 6th Man of the Year. 21.6 mpg, 11.1ppg, 3.2rpg, 1.9 apg, 1.3spg... all on 44.2% shooting from the field (37.1% from 3). He came in and had to grow into a new role off the bench, as opposed to the starting primary scoring option role he was playing for the Wolves last season. He's been a boost (and a surprise) for us, as he showed up to be a reliable option for us off the bench as the season progressed.

I nominate Gary Harris :

PPG : 15.9
REB 3.8
APG: 3.0
SPG: 2.0
Starts :0
Second leading scorer on team


Gary survived the 76ers TC Gainz devourer God: Gainzlactus in his first TC which is his biggest feat. Harris came into this league as a hand me down in the draft and was considered worst of the best in the top 5 of the draft. Gary came in quickly to dispel those thoughts as he's one of the front runners for rookie of the year. Gary is an important part of this team's current life and future life. this season Gary filled in the role as 6th man primarily a shooting guard and a backup pg. Gary has proven to be a threat from all areas, inside, jump shooting, and 3 point shooting. What Gary brings seems like an offensive force, but in his most surprising attribute, Gary also brought the D. He post a team best 2 steals per game on the wing.

I will be nominating Kevin Martin. Has started 0 games this year but his averages are:

20 mpg
11.1 ppg
1.5 assists
2.5 reb

All on an incredible 49.4 FG%
48% 3PT %
.639 TS%

and a PER of 19.3

Updated that he also was named 6MOY by the CPU as well as hopefully you.
