Bulls rookie Ben Gordon is set to be named the league's Sixth Man of the Year, Mike McGraw of the Daily Herald is reporting.  Citing league sources, McGraw writes that he will receive the award at a press conference at the Berto Center later today.

Sixth Man will be Gordon?s only major award this season. Rookie of the Year will be announced Wednesday, but that trophy is expected to go to Gordon?s college teammate and roommate, Charlotte Bobcats power forward Emeka Okafor.

?I think either (award) is great,? Gordon said before Monday?s game. ?I don?t know which one is better. I guess just to be getting an award period, I?ll be grateful. I?m sure whoever gets (Rookie of the Year), we?ll be happy for one another.?

Gordon will be the first rookie to win the honor as the league?s best player off the bench. The 6-foot-2 guard from Connecticut averaged 15.1 points during his first NBA season and quickly developed a reputation as one of the league?s best clutch scorers.

He scored 10 or more points in the fourth quarter 21 times, joining Toni Kukoc as the other Bull to win the award.
