Neal has been awesome for us, but not that awesome. He will not, nor should he, get ROY or 6th man.

But notoriety is great.
If there were such a thing as "7th man of the year", he would be a qualified candidate, possibly.
8.3 points per game can make you ROY these days?
As a 6th man of the year candidate you have to be the first one to come of the bench in most games. This description only fits for Georgie ...
he could be the rookie 6th man of the year, why don't we get that category added. :lol
0% chance...for both.
Love Choo-Choo, but if anyone can find a single reason why he would win ROY over Blake Griffin or John Wall (just to name the two obvious ones) then that person should stop watching basketball all together.
As for 6th man...if anyone on the Spurs is going to earn that honor this season it's going to be George Hill, not Gary Neal.
So again... 0% chance. For both.
You don't even necessarily have to be the first guy off the bench; the real question, as was discussed ad naseum when Manu was the best bench player in the league, is whether you start too many games. Oh, and apparently, if people believe that you should be a starter but come off the bench for some reason (cough, cough, Manu, cough, cough), you're overqualified for 6th Man of the Year.
