I posted my picks for the leading MVP candidates a couple weeks ago, so today I've got the leaders for the top rookie and 6th man, using a similar formula to the one I use for MVP, except that team success is not counted, since it doesn't seem to be a factor when you look at the usual winners of these awards. Here are my current award rankings:
Rookie of the Year
1. Ja Morant - MEM - 18.6 P, 3.2 R, 6.4 A, 1.4 S, .457 FG, .410 3P, .765 FT
Ja has missed the last few games with back spasms, but he is leading all rookies in scoring and assists, and is shooting well all-around, though he has to compete with a teammate for the chance to be the top rookie.
2. Brandon Clarke - MEM - 11.8 P, 5.9 R, 1.3 A, .630 FG, .826 FT
Morant's teammate is leading all rookies in rebounding, and is among the leaders in field goal percentage as well, all while coming off the bench. Like his teammate, Clarke is currently out due to injury, so it could open the door for another rookie to make a move, though these two are the current leaders by far.
3. Eric Paschall - GSW - 17.1 P, 5.3 R, 1.8 A, .507 FG, .811 FT
Paschall has played a lot this year due to all the injuries to Warriors starters, and he has played very well considering that he was a second-round pick. He has scored in double figures in 13 straight games and had a high of 34 points against Portland about a month ago.
4. Kendrick Nunn - MIA - 15.2 P, 2.5 R, 3.4 A, 1.1 S, .441 FG, .349 3P, .759 FT
It is extremely rare for an undrafted rookie to start every game for a team in playoff contention, but that is exactly what Nunn is doing, though his scoring has dropped off a bit in the last couple weeks. Still, for someone whose name wasn't called last spring, he is having a season for the ages.
Honorable Mention: Terence Davis - TOR, Rui Hachimura - WAS, Tyler Herro - MIA
Sixth Man of the Year
1. Lou Williams - LAC - 20.7 P, 3.3 R, 6.2 A, .422 FG, .357 3P, .848 FT
Williams was listed among my MVP contenders a couple weeks ago, but his production has dropped off a little since Paul George's return, though not enough for him to not be the leading contender for Sixth Man of the Year for a 4th time.
2. Montrezl Harrell - LAC - 18.7 P, 8.0 R, 2.2 A, 1.2 B, .597 FG, .625 FT
Another Clipper is sitting near the top of the Sixth Man standings due to a career year, and Harrell's production is not slowing down. Having such a solid bench is a huge part of what is making the Clippers a championship contender, and Harrell looks to be a big part of that all year.
3. Derrick Rose - DET - 15.8 P, 2.0 R, 5.7 A, .485 FG, .865 FT
Rose was a contender for 6th Man last year before his year was cut short by injury again, so hopefully this season ends differently for the former MVP, who has battled injuries ever since his initial injury right after his big season.
4. Brandon Clarke - MEM - 11.8 P, 5.9 R, 1.3 A, .630 FG, .826 FT

Honorable Mention: Christian Wood - DET, Jordan Clarkson - CLE, Bogdan Bogdanovic - SAC
