Cole Anthony has provided a spark off the bench. Where is he in the Sixth Man of the Year conversation? Franz Wagner: I think Cole is doing a great job this year of leading our second group. It’s probably one of the best in the NBA right now. Cole is a huge part of that for us, and it’s really important for us. A lot of times, our second unit is getting us leads and playing ahead. Cole can get a bucket whenever he wants, but I think Cole’s been really impressive for me in terms of how he’s making other people better, making plays for others, and controlling the whole pace of the game. I think Cole is definitely very deserving (of Sixth Man of the Year). I think our record speaks obviously for him, and I think it’s probably his stats as well. I’m not sure what voters are looking at for all of that, but all I could say is I’m super happy to play with him. -via HoopsHype / December 5, 2023
