I would say Morris is the front runner for 6th man of the year. Having a great season for the Suns.
He's definitely had a brilliant year and will get a few votes here and there for the 6th man of the year, but to call him the frontrunner seems a bit egregious. I can't really say anything about him that sets him far apart from Jamal Crawford or Reggie Jackson, who are both more obvious choices for me. However, as far as draft position goes, Markieff was definitely a solid addition at this point in the draft.
Jackson has started a chunk of games in place of Russ so you would have to take that into consideration. That might have helped out his stats a bit. Crawford, he's in the conversation every year, so I'll give you that.
