Mavericks could put Klay Thompson in perfect position to win award he's never won

If the Dallas Mavericks end up trotting out a jumbo starting five like Jason Kidd has teased this offseason, Klay Thompson could be in the perfect spot to win Sixth Man of the Year. Thompson has been a primary starter for his entire career outside of rookie season with the Golden State Warriors, and taking home a Sixth Man of the Year trophy would be perfect for him at this point in his career.

He already has countless accolades, such as being a five-time All-Star, four-time NBA champion, two-time All-NBA Third Team member, and a one-time All-Defensive Second Team member, but winning the award of being the most impactful bencch player in the league would be extremely special for the 12-year veteran.
