Portland Trail Blazers guard Jamal Crawford received three third place votes for the 2012 NBA Sixth Man of the Year award, which went to Oklahoma City Thunder guard James Harden. Crawford won the award during the 2009-2010 season.
Crawford, 32, averaged 14.0 points, 3.2 assists and 2.0 rebounds while shooting 38.4 percent from the field and 30.8 percent on threes while playing 26.9 minutes per game. He led the NBA in free throw percentage, shooting 92.7 percent.
Crawford said he will opt out of the second year of a two-year contract he signed back in December, becoming an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Clifford Robinson is the only member of the Blazers to win the award, doing so in 1992-1993.
