Favorite 6th men?

McGee is the only Iowa State player where I thought the ball was going in every time he shot. He led the NCAA in 3p % while shooting fall all way 23 footers. One of my all time favorites.
No idea how he would curl around a screen at 100 mph and then get squared up and nail it over and over, but he had a knack for it. So cool to watch

He shot it like he was shooting at a milk crate nailed to a telephone pole back home in Stringtown.

He was a perfect 6th man from the stand point that he was on fire before he even left the scorers table checking into the game. Something I like about Cujo as well - he needs no time to warm up to the game, he can hit a shot 3 seconds after checking into the game.
 
Tyrus McGee... not even close IMO. Greatest shooting stroke I've ever seen. But you couldn't sleep on his sheer athleticism either, as seen below...

 
Stevie Johnson
Stevie is one of my favorite players but I wouldn't call him a 6th man as he only came off the bench 17 out of almost 100 games he played his final 3 years at Iowa State.

There was a great article about glue guys in SI right before the NCAA tournament in 2000. They called Stevie the perfect glue guy.

I'll see if I can find it...

EDIT: Found it...
 
Any marginal player like Olaseini or Oglesby were good sixth men for Iowa State.

I feel like we are forgetting a bunch of guys. Did Houge start or come off bench?
Hogue started I think every game both seasons.

It sorta seems like he was off-the-bench for a while, but apparently now. (Similar feeling I had about Chris Babb, but he pretty much was in starting unit).

Edit: Nader could qualify as 6th role in 2014-15, but his impact wasn't significant stat-wise, on consistent basis, if I recall.
