He’s improved his play across the board and has responded to OKC demanding elite production from him off of the bench with a career year. Schroder absolutely has a stronger case than Harrell. His reliability has played a helping hand in allowing OKC to remain competitive all year, as the Thunder presently own the Western Conference’s 6 th seed with a solid 37-24 record. On top of that, Schroder is shooting a career best 47% from the floor, is hitting 38% of his shots from long range, and has chipped in four dimes per game.Įasily the best body on OKC’s relatively weak bench, Schroder logs 31 minutes per game and is counted on for his explosive offense. In 2020, Time featured two 'Person's of the Year' winners: Joe Biden, who had been elected the 46th president of the United States and Kamala Harris, who had been elected vice president, the first Black woman. Schroder has excelled in this role over the past two seasons, as he averaged 15.5 points per game last year and upped his scoring output to 18.9 per contest this season. Since 1927, Time magazine has chosen a man, woman, or idea that 'for better or worse, has most influenced events in the preceding year.' Although Time's list is not an academic or objective study of the past, the list gives a contemporary view of what was important during each year. Next up is Dennis Schroder, who went from a full-time starter in Atlanta to a bench spark with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Harrell stealing this award would feel a bit hollow, while bettors appear to be assuming some risk with these +125 odds.

However, Harrell ultimately doesn’t do a whole lot beyond score inside (0-16 from long range), and he’s not an elite defender. The Los Angeles Clippers have some of the best 2020 NBA Finals odds due to their insane depth, while LA is also still within striking distance of the best record in the Western Conference.Īll of this helps Harrell, and it certainly doesn’t hurt his chances that the top NBA betting sites favor him.

He’s done all of this off the bench and in just 27.9 minutes per game. Harrell has also been a force down low defensively, as he’s averaged 7.1 rebounds per game and 1.1 blocks per contest. Harrell also comes off the bench and provides an elite scoring spark, as the 26-year-old big man has chipped in 18.7 points per game. Oddly enough, it’s Lou’s Clippers teammate Montrezl Harrell that leads the way with +125 odds to win the 6 th Man award this year.
