NBA 2K12: Best Sixth Men

12:33 PM - December 20, 2011 by RaychelSnr

With a dynamic scorer, solid big man, fantastic wing players and a couple of young studs on your team, only one thing is missing. A bonafide sixth man. In this installment of 12 in '12, let's take a look at my favorite 12 players for the 'Sixth Man' role in NBA 2K12.

To use these players to their best potential, go into practice and find their 'hotspots.' This is key to a good scoring Sixth Man. (Michael Redd doesn't have any hotspots shown in NBA 2K12)

I love almost all of these guys you picked, however one of my favorite ones is JJ Reddick. Fantastic shooter, can drive if he needs, and is a good overall player. I've changed a lot of my games around bringing him off the bench (mainly due to his long range shooting). I'd say he's very similar to Brandon Rush in abilities and usefulness.

No James Harden?

# 3 stillfeelme @ 12/20/11 02:30 PM

I have to agree this is the best of the best of the 6th men at the moment. Dallas has two on the list along with their playbook they are scary good. Honorable mention James Harden

harden? ur telling me u don't start him over sefalosha? u probably don't win too many games

# 5 Austin_Ben @ 12/20/11 03:46 PM

Completely agree with J.R. Smith, brought him off the bench the other day and he went 7/8 from three point land along with a poster dunk on Bynum

List is a joke without Harden

Jeff Green has a higher heart condition rating than anyone else. And if you're sim, you start Thabo... Because Thabo is the starter � and has been since Harden was drafted. (Everyone knows Harden's better, and he gets more minutes than Thabo).

I would not consider Harden an actual 6th man, since he should be a starter - which is what I think a few on here are eluding to. He would start and may in OKC anyway, but would start on any other team in the league most likely as well -

# 9 Champion8877 @ 12/20/11 05:43 PM

harden better start this year, he deserves it. i like thabo, but he isnt nearly as good as harden

# 10 BSmiff @ 12/20/11 05:48 PM

Harden is a beast. OKC might have been in the NBA Finals had Harden not gotten into foul trouble. He is the catalyst to their offense is/when Westbrook has difficulty stretching the floor from deep. Once Harden starts and Westbrook improves his 3pt shooting, the entire Western Conference is in trouble.

You can't go wrong with J.Crawford, Terry or Lamar Odom. Tyrus Thomas is more of a role player or a starter who mostly helps for defensive purposes.

# 12 geezy @ 12/20/11 08:56 PM

Lamar Odom hands down he can do everything, score, rebound, pass, block shots, he's so versatile... why did we trade him?!

# 13 mjbird123 @ 12/20/11 08:59 PM

Harden, or Lamar Odom both great players.

# 14 cmebfresh @ 12/20/11 11:08 PM

Haslem for me in 2k everytime i play with the heat i put up 20 with him with the jumpshot

You and everyone else who agrees with you is a joke because you don't think Harden is a starter. Think I'm stupid? We'll see what happens come Christmas.

I am going to love to see what Dallas does with Terry and Odom! Talk about more than enough scoring power. I guess its a good problem to have.

Cheers

the thunder are a great team and so quick too and as much as i love harden (seriously one of my favs i even rock a beard partly because of him) i like seeing him come off the bench.. sure starting he creates more space for durant and westbrook basically more scoring but really they have no one else decent off the bench for them thabo is a lockdown defender thats what they need starting at the 2.. harden is a better player but i just think its smarter to have him come off the bench fresh and ready to roll.. all three are young and only getting better and im sure he will start soon i just dont think he should yet.. and terry and lamar wow if only barrea chandler and butler could have stayed they would basically have 2 starting teams so much deph!!! im diggin the mavs..lamar won 6th man of the year last year and being with the mavs is a nice fit..theres not too many people that can strip the trophy away from him this year as well gunna be fun to watch

# 18 Saviour @ 12/21/11 04:44 PM

Were are all the Knick fans when you need them. Billy Walker is a absolute beast in this game. He has been on of the biggest sleepers since 2K10. I bring him off the bench for instant offense the minute my opponent goes on a run. After a few 3's and highlight reel dunks everyone always responsds...."BIlly Walker aint that good!!!" lol.

# 19 Nodima @ 12/22/11 08:28 AM

Did you people consider Manu Ginobili a starter all those years too? If he's a 6th man he's a 6th man. It's not a judge of skill, it's a role on a team. Lamar Odom deserves just as much zealous starter support if that's the case, but we all know he's better for any team he plays for coming off the bench and changing the tone of the game.

# 20 fatleg3 @ 12/22/11 03:45 PM

Yea Harden should be on this list. While playing online I constantly get lit up by him.

Yes Harden has the talent to be a starter but that is not his role. Heck Mayo, Odom, Crawford, Smith, Terry, green, and Thomas all can be starters for their respective team so why are they on the list?
