The last award recipient is Brown.
Last season, Brown at the Brooklyn Nets averaged 30 minutes per game, scoring 17.8 points and 5.7 rebounds with shooting percentages of 45.1% in field goals and 36.2% in three-pointers.
In "history," Brown was not selected by the Celtics and didn't get much playing time, but at the Brooklyn Nets, opportunities were plentiful.
Embiid's stats were more outstanding than Brown's, even stunning; he averaged 20.2 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, a rare feat for a rookie to achieve 20+ points in recent years.
However, last season, he only played in 31 games due to injuries, so this sample size wasn't enough to impress the judges.
After the Rookie of the Year came the Sixth Man Award.
Originally, Wade had a good chance for this, but because he played as a starter with the Bulls and not enough as a substitute.
The award ultimately went to Louis Williams of the Rockets.
