When asked who should win the 2020 Sixth Man of the Year Award, Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Lou Williams talked about how it would be great if he and Montrezl Harrell both won the award.
Williams told Clippers reporters he would love to share the award with Harrell since both of them have had stellar seasons off the bench, per Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.
Lou Williams on Sixth Man of the Year award – "Trez and I we made history the last few years. We're on the number 2 team in the West, we've sacrificed, and still been able to be successful. I feel like we both deserve it. I would love to share it with him."

Williams has won the award three times and the last two years. He was averaging 18.7 points, 3.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists for the Clippers this season before games were suspended in March. Sweet Lou was also shooting 41.6 percent from the field, 36.3 percent from beyond the arc and 86.3 percent from the free-throw line.
Harrell, meanwhile, was putting up 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists for the Clippers in 63 games while shooting 58.0 percent from the field and 65.8 percent from the free-throw line. He becomes an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.
Multiple reports have stated that the Clippers have every intention of re-signing Harrell since he’s one of the best bench players in the NBA and has an unbelievable rapport with Williams, both on and off the court.
It's highly doubtful the NBA is going to give the Sixth Man of the Year Award to two players. With that said, the voters will have to decide between Williams, Harrell and Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Dennis Schroder.
