Luka once again the favorite to 57 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: win MVP plus three fifty. You got Yo Kitch behind 58 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: him at plus four to fifty, SGA right there with 59 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: Yo Kich at plus four to fifty, Embeed at plus 60 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: nine hundred, and then Giannis comes in here on our 61 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: top five board at plus one thousand. Let's for all 62 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: of these like, make your pick, talk it out, give 63 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: your reasoning, and then if we want, we can do 64 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: like a dark horse, pick someone that's not on that board, 65 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: that's maybe further down. 66 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, that don't make it. That'll make it long, 67 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 2: that'll make it a lot podcast. 68 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we'll just start playing what about this guy? 69 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, but with this one, there is no what about 70 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:20,839 Speaker 2: this guy it's going to Luca for the first time 71 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 2: in school. This is a bit of a career award 72 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: for this guy, a guy who we know is going 73 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,639 Speaker 2: to the Hall of Fame. A guy's only played in 74 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: the league six seasons, five time All Star, five time 75 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 2: first team All NBA. This guy's going to it, and 76 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: especially after making an appearance in the finals, I think 77 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: that pushes him just a little bit forward. It and 78 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 2: it pushes him a little bit forward. Then shake goes Alexander, 79 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 2: who was a monkst that one two three last year. 80 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: It was Jokic, Shay and Luca last year, and I 81 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: think Luca gets it over those two guys right now. 82 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: If we're we're making this pick right now, eight months 83 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 2: before the season is done, or some months before the 84 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 2: season is done, I think it hurts Yoka a little bit. 85 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: Jokic said that they got bounced in the second round, 86 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: while this other guy, Luca, made it to the finals 87 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 2: and he's just had this career and so I think 88 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: this is a bit of a career award for Lucas 89 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,119 Speaker 2: So I think it's going to him finally over a guy, yeah, 90 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: like Jokic or Luca or excuse me, Shay who is 91 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 2: only two time All Star in his six years and 92 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 2: a two time All NBA. I think I think voters 93 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: will say, oh, yeah, this guy, we keep on thinking 94 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: he's gonna win it. This will be the first time 95 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 2: he wins it. 96 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: SGA did beat out Luca for the MVP in the 97 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: NBA dot Com GM survey, winning forty percent of the 98 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: vote compared to Luca, who got thirty percent. Shout out 99 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,119 Speaker 1: to our guy John Schuman doing great work once again. 100 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 2: But that was also very weird because jims were asked 101 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: which player forces opposing coaches to make the most adjustments, 102 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 2: Luca by far more than anybody else. And also, who's 103 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 2: the best point guard in the NBA Luca over Shay. 104 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, but let's not forget like they could both have 105 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: and will have dominant numbers once again, both Luca and 106 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: SGA and Yolkic for that matter. But if the Thunder, 107 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: I think gms are thinking, well, the Thunder might have 108 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: ten more wins than Dallas, you know, when you're looking 109 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: at that, that might come into play. Oh sure as 110 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: well and gets one or not. But Luca, look, it 111 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: makes sense to pick him. It does feel like one 112 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: of these years he's. 113 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 4: Going to get one. 114 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: Why not this year, you know, with some new players 115 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,119 Speaker 1: coming in and obviously the finals run and all that stuff. 116 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, heading into the finals, specifically after Jokic got bounced, 117 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 3: there was definitely a little Luca is the best player 118 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 3: in the NBA buzz right now. Once that starts building, 119 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 3: it's understandable that he would be at the top of 120 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 3: the odds. I got burned a couple of times picking Luca. 121 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 3: I guess maybe the first two times that he was 122 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 3: a favorite for this award. So I'm personally gonna sit 123 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 3: it out until he wins one. But he'll win one 124 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 3: at some point. Maybe this is the year. Like he 125 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 3: was pretty close to averaging a thirty point triple double 126 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: last season, he could easily do it again this year. 127 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 3: I think the Mavericks take a little step forward offensively, 128 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 3: so maybe that filters down into Luca's numbers as well. 129 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 3: I think, if I'm looking at the board that we have, 130 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 3: would be the pick for me. But I'm going off 131 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 3: the board for my MVP pot Okay. I like Jalen 132 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: Brunson lost fourteen hundred seventh in odds, there's a chance 133 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: he could have a twenty seven point per game seven 134 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 3: assists fifty to forty ninety season. He was close last 135 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: year twenty nine seven and four, shot forty eight from 136 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,239 Speaker 3: the field, forty from three to eighty three from the line. 137 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: I think he could get a little better. 138 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 3: With Carl Anthony Towns being the main five there bridges 139 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 3: and og full seasons, there's going to be a ton 140 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: of driving lanes for Jalen Brunson. He'll obviously still be 141 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 3: the clutch time guy for them, hitting all the big shots, 142 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 3: handling the ball, taking on the majority of the responsibility. 143 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 3: He probably also gets the New York bump. 144 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: He gets a little bit of bump for being a 145 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: good guy and giving back one hundred million dollars, which 146 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: then allows them to bring in his friends and then 147 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: trade away one of his friends and bring in another guy. 148 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 3: Who's friends with the GM. It worked out nice. He's 149 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 3: getting the friendship bump. 150 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 4: In the MVP. 151 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: It seems a little unlikely that Jalen Brunson could replicate 152 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 3: last season he finished fifth in MVP. But I think 153 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 3: the Knicks will be better this season. I think be 154 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 3: excited to vote for a Nick. 155 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, but will his numbers be as good? I know 156 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: you it feels like, yes, there's gonna be space out there. 157 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 2: But if cats shooting, if mckel bridges you shooting, are 158 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 2: the numbers gonna be that guy? Because part of the 159 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: reason why his numbers were that good was because Randall 160 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: was out and so he was just the guy. So 161 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: if they're injuries, sure he gets every shot, but I 162 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: just wonder with those guys in there, he's gonna have 163 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 2: the same number. 164 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: Couldn't his numbers though, dip and the Knicks win the 165 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: number one seed or or at least challenging the Celtics, 166 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: let's say, from the number one seed in the East, 167 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: and like that would help his chances win MVP, like 168 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: they could. I think like his scoring like trace that 169 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: could go down. Probably his assisco up anyway with all 170 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: the shooting around him. Now, yeah, but like, as long 171 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: as they, like are one of the best teams in 172 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: the league record wise, Brunson will get the love for 173 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: that team. That's no doubt. Where you know, poor Tatum, 174 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: there's nothing he can do to obviously even get into 175 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: the MVP conversation because this team's too good. But like 176 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: that's not the case. If the Knicks are still one 177 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: of the best teams and Brunson's their leader. It's just 178 00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: like it goes to him. 179 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 3: I would think his official he has to be crazy, 180 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 3: like literally a fifty to forty ninety season and they 181 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: have to win fifty eight to sixty games. But I 182 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 3: think if that's the case, like he's probably a top 183 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 3: three MVP guy at that point. 184 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wonder how much record matters because Shay will 185 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: be up there because his record is going to be good. Yeah, 186 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,560 Speaker 2: the question is how many games are the MAVs gonna 187 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 2: win if Lucas going to be up there, and does 188 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 2: the just the Western Conference help him out just because 189 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: there's gonna be so many good teams and if there's 190 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: a I don't know if an OKC gets up there 191 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: between fifty five and sixty, but the rest of the 192 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 2: teams are like all fifty win teams like sort of 193 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 2: that what happened in the Eastern Conference behind Boston the 194 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 2: Boston Celtics last year. It was a bunch of teams 195 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: that are like under fifty wins that didn't help them. 196 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: But I wonder if it helps Luca just because he 197 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,559 Speaker 2: is Luka Dontrich. Now, I don't know how many games 198 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,439 Speaker 2: the Mas we're gonna win, are gonna win because I 199 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: picked them under an under fifty win team. But now 200 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: I'm picking Luca to win. So I don't know. It's 201 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 2: a weird one. Maybe it's one of those years like 202 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: a Russell Westbrook that's a lower seed. But this dude 203 00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: is the guy who's going to have the best numbers. 204 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 2: He's going to have better numbers than Shae across the 205 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: board like he did last year. He was the leading scorer. 206 00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, he rebounds, Oh yeah, yes, this everybody so 207 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 2: across the board. He's gonna have the numbers. It's all 208 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: what the voters are in the mood for. 209 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: Really, when it comes down to it, well, I'm picking Shay. 210 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 4: I'll back SGA. 211 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: You got Luca, you got Brunson, I'll go SGA to 212 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: win his first MVP. He has earned consecutive first team 213 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: All NBA Odds nods, two top five MVP finishes, obviously 214 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: runner up last year, and over the last two seasons, 215 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 1: Shay has averaged I'm taking the last two seasons and 216 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: combining them thirty one points per game, six assists per game, 217 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: five boards, two steals in a block, with pretty good 218 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: efficiency as well, And I just think okac is going 219 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: to be strong enough this year to keep SGA top 220 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: of mind all season long. If we think okay See 221 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: will be maybe the best team in the West record wise, 222 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: maybe even in the league, that's going to help his 223 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: case if he's five to ten games clear off some 224 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: of these other guys, like if that actually fruition. So 225 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: I'll go SGA. I'll play the homework card. And you 226 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: know what, Steve Nash the only other Canadian to win MVP. 227 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: Anthony Bennett never got one, but Nash did a couple. 228 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: So let's hear from you who you make in the case. 229 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: I will ask you before we get to your dark 230 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: horse picks, even though you sort of picked one already 231 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: in brunts and you'll catch no chance to win his 232 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 1: fourth in five years. 233 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,079 Speaker 2: No, No, seems unlikely after you get bounced in the 234 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: second round. That's part of it. That's part of it 235 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: leading into the next season. You've won three. What does 236 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: the resumes say? What do they all say in NBA history? Okay, 237 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: this guy is one three. We're gonna give him a 238 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 2: fourth now after only winning one championship. That's part of it. 239 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you look at the top five guys he's 240 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 3: the only one on a team that got worse. 241 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: That helps. 242 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 3: Interesting they lost KCP, all the others beefed up their teams. 243 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 3: You know, I would say outside of Giannis and the Bucks, 244 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 3: they're the same team, whereas people are expecting the Nuggets 245 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 3: to least. Yeah, maybe they'll be the same sort of team. 246 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 3: But they lost a guy at the very least. 247 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: That's why, and that helps. Yeah, that's why I think 248 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards, who was seventh in the voting last year, 249 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 2: has a chance just because they let go of kat 250 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: and if they have a great record, that's the guy 251 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 2: who gets all the votes. So I think I think 252 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 2: there's a chance there. You know, a little like Brunson 253 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 2: last year, he'll get the credit. 254 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 1: Okay, so your dark horse pick for MVP, can you 255 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: can go Anthony Edwards? I think as long as you're 256 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: right on the top five here or whatever. 257 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the ant man for me, who finished seventh 258 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: last year. So everybody is already already voting for him. 259 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 2: He's got that going for him. The voters already know 260 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 2: this guy's great, and he went to a conference finals 261 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 2: last year, so the playoff success, so he's already on 262 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 2: the rise. And I think he will get the credit 263 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 2: if they do have a great record, and they're gonna 264 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: have a great defense, so there's all that he's gonna get. 265 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: His numbers will go up from last year because Cat 266 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: was the guy shooting a lot, and so from twenty 267 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 2: six points per game last year, the twenty six, five 268 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: and five what he had last year, it's got to 269 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 2: be a in a high twenties at the very least 270 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 2: twenty eight twenty nine this year. So that's part of it. 271 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, you'll go ant Man. 272 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: You got another one as a possible dark horse pick 273 00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: for MVP. 274 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 3: John Morant Tephan odds plus thirty five hundred. Basically, you 275 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 3: can say he's the reason that the Grizzlies last two 276 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 3: seasons have gone poorly, missing time last year and then 277 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 3: obviously all of the off court stuff during the I 278 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 3: guess twenty twenty two season. It feels like we haven't 279 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 3: seen John Morant for a long time, and people are 280 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 3: expecting the Grizzlies to have a bounce back season. This 281 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 3: would require an ultimate bounce back season where he's getting 282 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 3: close to thirty points per game, the Grizzlies are winning 283 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: fifty plus, which you know, the percentage chance of that 284 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 3: happening maybe like a two percent chance, but not unreasonable. 285 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 2: I thought it was very funny when he saw a 286 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 2: tweet from NBA TV which was which player is prime 287 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: for a breakout season and he was on the same 288 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: list as Jalen Williams, Evan Mobley and WM and Yam 289 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 2: and Bankero. He said, respectfully, why am I on? I've 290 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 2: already broke out. I'm that good. Excuse me, respectfully to 291 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,959 Speaker 2: everybody else? Why am I on here? So good? 292 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: You're on there because you haven't played it a long time, 293 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: so respectfully, back to you, sir, my dark horse pick. 294 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: I'm going way down the board, very unlikely here, but 295 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: give me Palo Banco at plus twenty thousand, crazy odds. 296 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 4: It's too low. 297 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 1: So like it's I'm doubling down on how good I 298 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: think the magic could be. Of course, like for this 299 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: to come true, for him to actually win win MVP. 300 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: But he's the best player on that team. So if 301 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 1: they shock everybody and suddenly catapult their way into like 302 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: a you know, a top three maybe even a top 303 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: two seed in the Eastern Conference, he's going to average 304 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: twenty five, seven and six, you know, something like that. 305 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there would be, you know, some support for him. Again, 306 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: this is far fetch. This is a dark horse for 307 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 1: a reason. 308 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 2: But Pelo, when they make the announcements, all NBA go 309 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: before MVP because I'm just saying that, because he would 310 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 2: be the first MVP announced that's never made an All 311 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: NBA team, I'm guessing. 312 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 4: Wow, interesting, Yeah, that'd be true. Is that true? Derek Rowse? 313 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, Derek Rose was an All NBA before he won. 314 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 3: I know that for sure. 315 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: Rare, that's right, for sure. Yeah, So that's why it's 316 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: a dark horse. I do have a trivia question for you, guys. 317 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: Can you name the last MVP to average. 318 00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: Under all NBA and MVP for Derek Rowse that same season, 319 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 2: so to average under twenty five points per game? 320 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 3: Last MVP under twenty five points per game? 321 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: Mash No, No, it's a good pick. I mean he 322 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: did it. He was under twenty. 323 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Uh. 324 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Dirk, No, he also I believe was under twenty five though, 325 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: so it was just happening more recently. Yeah, it's an 326 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: it's a well, if I give you the year, you 327 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: guys will get it right away because you're sick oos. 328 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: But it's it's shocking because you think, well, he's Westbrook. No, 329 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: it's one of the greatest scores of all like shooters 330 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: of all time, scores of all time, the ram. No, 331 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: you're close he played with. 332 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 3: Him Harden, No way. He was way over twenty five 333 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 3: points per game. 334 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 4: Steph, Steph. 335 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: Curry was under twenty first MVP season, shocking, isn't it. 336 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: Obviously jumped up to like thirty when he won his 337 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: unanimous MVP. But yeah, in twenty fourteen to fifteen, Curry 338 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: was under twenty five points per game. I bring that 339 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: up because when I was looking for, like, who could 340 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: win this, you basically have to score twenty six plus 341 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 1: twenty seven plus nowadays, especially in today's MBA where everybody scores. 342 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: So you know that's when you know, that's why Brunson's 343 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: a little interesting. 344 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 4: You know. 345 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: Will he maintain that level? 346 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 4: Probably? But yeah, that was fun. 347 00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: Any chance for Jason Tatum to get this at plus 348 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 1: eighteen hundred allow could the pendulum swing back? 349 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 4: Though? Yeah? It could? It could. 350 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, Porzingis is out. The longer Porzingis is out, the 351 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 3: better chances for Tatum. 352 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 2: I think. 353 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: Does he need Brown to go down to though? 354 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: That even helps more. Yeah, the worse their team is, 355 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 3: the better he looks. 356 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fair. 357 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: Okay, those are our picks for MVP.

Jalen Johnson of 373 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 3: the Atlanta Oh. 374 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 1: You thought it was going, josh Y. Don't be crazy, man, 375 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 1: you saw the clip. Just like everybody close out, my man, 376 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: show us a little effort, even if it's just the 377 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: praisers a game. 378 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: I don't know. 379 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: It just disgusts me to see Victor webbit yell, that's 380 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: off of that list. 381 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 3: I had to go in and check. Do you think 382 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 3: a number one draft pick has ever won Most Improved Player? 383 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: Uh? 384 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 3: No, insec not in their second year. 385 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:02,360 Speaker 1: I don't know. 386 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 3: Never nervous Pervis Ellison the only I think number one 387 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 3: pick to win Most Improved Player. He won in his 388 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 3: third season. He increased these points per game from ten 389 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 3: to twenty. That's what counds like respect. That's pretty good. 390 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: Some guys have won it in their second year. Gilbert Arenas, 391 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 3: I think was a second year player he won Most 392 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: Improved He was like a second round draft pick and 393 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 3: then was awesome his second year, scoring a ton of points, 394 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: and they basically came up with a rule for him. 395 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 3: But I like Jalen Johnson. He did have a real 396 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 3: big breakout season last year, which is kind of why. 397 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 3: It's also funny that he ended up on the Breakout 398 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 3: Players listening, it felt like last year. 399 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:36,120 Speaker 4: Was the year. 400 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 3: But he's wearing ankle braces this season, so his feet 401 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 3: will be a little bit stronger. I've bought into the 402 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 3: stupid hype of watching him play one on one against 403 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 3: a six foot tall guy, but the handles look nice, skeets. 404 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 3: I just think there's a little bit more opportunity there 405 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 3: in Atlanta. He should be the number two scorer basically 406 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 3: behind Trey Young, and he's just an awesome dude to 407 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 3: watch in transition. There aren't a lot of guys that 408 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 3: are like Jalen Johnson players right now because he's really big, 409 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 3: really strong, crazy long legs, moves up the court fast, 410 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,400 Speaker 3: he plays on both ends of the ball. He really 411 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 3: seemed to get it last year, became a player, got 412 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 3: on some MIP ballots. But I'm taking him because I 413 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 3: just think it'll be a potential. Like I don't think 414 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 3: he's necessarily going to be an All Star this season 415 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 3: because it's hard for the Hawks to get All Stars 416 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 3: like Trey Young puts up ridiculous numbers every season, never 417 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 3: makes All Stars, so the second guy on the team 418 00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 3: making it not likely and kind of right now, you 419 00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: have to be an All Star to win Most Improved Player. 420 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 3: I think seven of the last eight seasons was a 421 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 3: guy winning Most Improved Player in their first All Star season. 422 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 3: Siakam kind of was the only guy that didn't do it, 423 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 3: and then he was an All Star the next couple 424 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: of seasons right after that. But I think he's got 425 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: all star talent. Does he make it? Who knows? Give 426 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 3: me mip Jalen Johnson. 427 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that ten point increased last year, up to 428 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: sixteen points from five point six the season before. I 429 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 2: guess voters just a year late with these guys. 430 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, he was like the nerds, the basketball geeks were like, yeah, 431 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: he's one of the guys that's improved the most, but like, well, 432 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 1: the rest of the media catch on. If he maintains well, 433 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 1: he obviously has to increase that level. I think he 434 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,959 Speaker 1: has to clearly become the Hawk's second best player. 435 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 4: Yes, right, yes, and you know, and. 436 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: The numbers bump up a little bit, maybe they surprise 437 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: people as well, and they're a little better. 438 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 4: They'll you know, they'll just be five hundred. 439 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 2: He will be the hawk second best player. Unfortunately, got 440 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: hurt last year and there was. 441 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 3: Some hope, there was a bit of hope here in Atlanta. 442 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 2: That that team was going to be good when they 443 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 2: started eight and seven, But then bank he went out 444 00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: and the team just true, That team plummeted big time. 445 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: So yeah, he had sixteen and nine last year. He's 446 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 2: a very very, very good player. He'll clearly be the 447 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 2: second best player for me. I'm going with the guy 448 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: on that list as well. It's Evan Mobley because everybody 449 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 2: just sees him as just this defensive player, which he's amazing, 450 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,719 Speaker 2: receiving third the third most Defensive Player of the Year 451 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 2: votes last year. But he is a very good offensive player, 452 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: and I know Kenny Atkinson, head coach there, is gonna 453 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 2: let him break out. People need to know this guy 454 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: needs to be unleashed, and I think he will be 455 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 2: because his usage rate has just been the same every 456 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 2: single season of his career. His first three seasons it's 457 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 2: been the same. But Kenny Atkinson has come out and said, 458 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: I am letting this guy go. If he gets the break, 459 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 2: if he gets the board, he's got to lead that break. 460 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 2: If he's got five out on offense, he should run 461 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 2: that offense. He should run a pick and roll. He's 462 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 2: said that they're gonna unleash him in a lot more ways. 463 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 2: Last year he was tied for one hundred and forty 464 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: fifth in the league in terms of usage rate. He 465 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 2: just has to go up. He's a modern player. He's 466 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,359 Speaker 2: so good. Uh, you know, it's a similar guy to 467 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson in a way, these these long guys who 468 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 2: are so good and so talented needs to be unleashed. 469 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 2: If they've got five shooters out, then this guy just 470 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 2: needs to be just run free. Heaven, just run free. 471 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: His his offense should be there, he should be way 472 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:45,920 Speaker 2: out this year. 473 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 4: Mobley, I feel like he's one of your favorite players. 474 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 4: He's a great player. 475 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 2: Yes I do. I talk about him quite frequently. 476 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 4: But you go to bat for him quite a bit. 477 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's just the team that's built around. 478 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 2: If Donovan Mitchell allows that to happen, than Evin Mobley 479 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 2: could be that guy. His usage rate needs to go 480 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 2: down a little bit. And I think he did re 481 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 2: sign with Cleveland knowing that we need to get him 482 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: and Garland going. And so it's it's up to Mobiley 483 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 2: to be better. It's up to Atkinson to run through him. 484 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: But it's also up to Mitchell to say, all right, 485 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 2: this guy's good, this guy's this guy. I think this 486 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 2: guy's as good as that guy on that show, on 487 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 2: that podcast, that test Mause guy. I think he's that good. 488 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, interesting, Yeah, you love Mobley and Mobley also 489 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: loves you. 490 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,199 Speaker 4: On No Dougs. Yeah, I love that guy. 491 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 2: YEA. 492 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: So part of your equation here for most Improved for Mobile, 493 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: I assume is like an All Star season too, to 494 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: fit sort of that bill that Trey was saying, which 495 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 1: is definitely possible. 496 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard for Evan Mobley because he's been around 497 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: for a few years. He again, he was fourth and 498 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year last year. Like he is, 499 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 2: he's known for being a very good player. He keeps 500 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,439 Speaker 2: on getting Defensive Player of the Year votes. Yeah, I'm 501 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 2: not sure how much his numbers increase. Again, when when 502 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: you say that he's going to be playing with Donovan 503 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 2: Mitchell and Darius Garland and Jared Allen who are going 504 00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: to score a lot, Well, numbers go up enough, I 505 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 2: don't know. But the most improved, it's just it's all 506 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 2: about the narrative. They have to be great and so 507 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: that's part of it. 508 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,120 Speaker 1: My most Improved player pick. I guess I'm thunder pilled. 509 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: Give me Jalen Williams, give me j Dubb. He has 510 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: the sixth best odds to win this award. He's plus 511 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: eighteen hundred, So that's why he wasn't on that board 512 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: we showed you but seventy one games last season, he 513 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: averaged nineteen four five assists per game. 514 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 4: He improved his. 515 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: Three point shooting a lot from two years ago to 516 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: last year, thirty six percent to forty three percent. So 517 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: hopefully you can stay above the forty percent mark here. 518 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,239 Speaker 1: But I like that he improved as a playmaker. He 519 00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: increased his assist percentage, lowered his turnover percentage, had a 520 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 1: higher usage rate, so asked to do more and was 521 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: still efficient. He became like a closer for them too. 522 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,120 Speaker 1: We talked about him multiple times last year, like took 523 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: over games at times and got the thunder a win. 524 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: So I'll go with him, gonna be like, those are 525 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,959 Speaker 1: good numbers, he needs to bump them up a little bit. 526 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: A part of this, though, is I'm banking. I guess 527 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: on maybe he would be the second All Star selected 528 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,239 Speaker 1: with SGA. He's sort of battling chet holmgrin. I mean 529 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: that that could get a little difficult for him to 530 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: win this award. But I love this stat as well 531 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: from SI Jillen Williams had a twenty one percent usage 532 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 1: rate in about thirteen hundred minutes with Josh Giddy. But 533 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: when Giddy wasn't out there and it was about eight 534 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: hundred minutes. Jillen Williams. His usage percentage was like twenty 535 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: nine percent. Like he's the second guy, he's the second playmaker. 536 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 1: So now with Getty gone, you know, maybe there's a 537 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: bit of a role change there that could benefit him 538 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: his numbers and his chance to get some more love 539 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 1: for this. And I just think people love this guy too. 540 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: So if they're good, they're a sixty win team, like 541 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: a lot of people think they'll be knocking on the 542 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: door of then I think he could win it. 543 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,360 Speaker 2: Give me j dub I agree, that's a pick. Yeah, 544 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,160 Speaker 2: that was my dark horse, was Joe because Josh Gidty 545 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 2: is gone. They basically had the same usage rate last 546 00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 2: year to finish plays for that team. So this guy 547 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 2: is just gonna be rocketing up with Harnteresting out there 548 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 2: and Caruso out there. He's gonna be allowed to finish plays. Now, 549 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 2: he's kind of slim because he's already voted. He's fourth 550 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 2: last year, he's on a lot of ballots. Yeah, so 551 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,880 Speaker 2: that's a problem. And will his numbers go up? They 552 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 2: will because he's averaging nineteen last year he had great 553 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 2: efficiency four and a half assists he could be an 554 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 2: All Star. I think he's more likely to be an 555 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 2: All Star. Yeah, most improved I. 556 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: Sort of do too. 557 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 4: I do too. 558 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: I also saw like you were saying, you usually have 559 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 1: to become an All star tray. The other trend for 560 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: most improved players over the last decade or so is 561 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: like you have to almost increase your points per game 562 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: by like four and a half, you know, four to 563 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 1: five points more per game than you had prior. I mean, 564 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: what did I say he had averaged nineteen basically last year? 565 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,920 Speaker 1: Could he average twenties? I guess he could. I think 566 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: that's maybe a bit of a stretch. I think he'll 567 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,119 Speaker 1: just be better as a player. I don't know if 568 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: his numbers scoring numbers go up that high. But give 569 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: me j Dubb. So you have him as a dark horse, Yeah, yeah, yeah, 570 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: who's your dark horse pick? 571 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 3: Do I have a dark horse pick? Mine would have 572 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 3: been Jaylen Williams. But I also think it's kind of 573 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 3: ridiculous that he's not in the top five odds. 574 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 1: He's gonna be. 575 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 3: Above Giddy Yeah at the very least. Yeah, I guess 576 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 3: I'll hop on the jadeb. 577 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: Okay, I've got I've got one more. Give me Kid 578 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 1: Cunningham as a super dark horse pick, I would take, Well, 579 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,360 Speaker 1: I'm playing the gonna be an All Star thing. 580 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,760 Speaker 4: I'm gonna stick with that. 581 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 1: Kate Cunningham has much more of a chance to be 582 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: an All Star than Jade and Ivy, and at plus 583 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: three thousand, these are very This is a dark horse pick. 584 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: Man don't do this, but he does have good numbers, 585 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: and if his team is actually a competent basketball team, 586 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: then I could see the narrative being formed of what 587 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: this would be his fourth year. I know it doesn't 588 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: feel like it because he hasn't played a lot at times, 589 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 1: But Kate Cunningham, that's my dark horse. I might be 590 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: all right, let's keep it going here where we go 591 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: on Rookie of the Year. Let's talk about the young buys, 592 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: that big young buy. Zach Edy. 593 00:25:58,680 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 4: He scares me. 594 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 1: Just look at it, just looks like I don't know. 595 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 3: I posted a picture of a twenty foot tall Michael 596 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 3: Myers and playful yes, and people responded to me right away, 597 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 3: Zach Edy. 598 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 1: Yes, Yes, got a Halloween vibe to it. Okay, so 599 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: we got a lot of names on this board because 600 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: we had a big tie at the end, but Zachar 601 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: Eady is the favorite twin Rookie of the year plus 602 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: five hundred, Reed Shepherd with the Rockets plus six hundred, 603 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 1: Zachary rishache At plus nine hundred for the Hawks, and 604 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 1: then a tie here with tar Boozellis Castle and Bub 605 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: Carrington Wizards all plus one thousand. So task get us 606 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: started here. Obviously, Webb Yama ran away with Rookie the 607 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: Year last year, but this one feels much more wide open. 608 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 2: Oh it is open. 609 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: Who are you picking? 610 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 2: I'm picking Zachary resa Schet of the Atlanta Hawks. Did 611 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 2: we see his preseason debut. 612 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 4: He looks so good. 613 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 3: One gay, great one game, you look great. 614 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 2: But he also looked refined. He doesn't look like a 615 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 2: nineteen year old out there his first basket, that zero 616 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 2: step in transition. He just takes the time to see, Oh, 617 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 2: this guy's with, this guy's running in front of me. 618 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 2: I mean, he just looks developed to be able to 619 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 2: do that. And then you know there's all the fancy stuff. Yeah, 620 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 2: drop the ball between your legs for a pass and fancy, 621 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 2: but he just he's a ballplayer. He knows, okay, somebody's 622 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,679 Speaker 2: running at me. At the three point line. I'll past this, 623 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,479 Speaker 2: but in transition, he'll take that three. Like he'll do 624 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 2: anything out there. He can cut, he can shoot threes. 625 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: He's just good, and I know he's going to play. 626 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 2: If you look at those other guys up there, like 627 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 2: Zach Edy read Shepherd. I don't think it's a good pick. 628 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: At because you just don't think the minutes will be 629 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:33,159 Speaker 1: there now. 630 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna play every single game read 631 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 2: Shepherd read Shepherd. Look who he's playing behind. He's playing 632 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,400 Speaker 2: behind Fred Vandley, who played thirty seven minutes a game 633 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 2: last year. He's playing behind Jalen green Ye, who plays 634 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 2: backup point guard at times. He was a backup point 635 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 2: guard for like five minutes per game last year. And 636 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 2: there's so many guys that just get moved to the 637 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 2: guard spot, like Dylan Brooks played guard spot minutes. I 638 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 2: mean Thompson played guard spot minutes. He's gonna play even more. Yeah, 639 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 2: take played more minutes. Like there's there's so many guys. 640 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 2: I think Cam Whitmore is gonna play more minutes of 641 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: the guard. I don't think he's part of that rotation that. 642 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 4: Is like trying to win the now, which Reid gives them. 643 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,440 Speaker 1: You see his first preseason gain, though I want enough 644 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,919 Speaker 1: minutes to win will be difficult, and Resae is not 645 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: starting for this team right now, but I think he 646 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,919 Speaker 1: will be at some point of this season because he's 647 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,880 Speaker 1: playing behind DeAndre Hunter, who gets. 648 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 2: Hurt all that time. Yeah, he's missed. I went and 649 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: did the math. He's missed a third of his games 650 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: essentially since being in the NBA, and they may trade 651 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 2: him at some point. There's going to be in that 652 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 2: starting lineup at some point of this year. And again 653 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: like will Zach Edie start for sure? Yes, at some point, Yeah, 654 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 2: it looks like it could. Those are the two that 655 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 2: I'm looking at. 656 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 4: Yah, yeah, okay, you're going to though. 657 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, also tough to tell apart him and Jill and 658 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: Johnson when they're both out there. 659 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 3: I saw a picture of Trey Young, Resa and Jalen 660 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 3: Johnson like lined up height wise, and people said it 661 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 3: was a Pokemon evolution chart. They all look like very 662 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 3: similar hairstyles and. 663 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 1: Facial hairstyle when they're just slightly bigger and buffer as 664 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: they get on it's like Charizar to Charmander or whatever. 665 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 4: And then and. 666 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: Jilla Johnson is he is he number one? Reshach number ten? 667 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 3: Yeah? 668 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: Right, they got the ones that they got to start them, 669 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: they should will be okay. Also, I can't get over 670 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 1: like I saw even the Hawks like share a photo 671 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: with like way to go Zach or something, and seeing 672 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: Zach spelled with two c's. 673 00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,240 Speaker 2: I don't like it. It's mind blowing. Yeah, what the. 674 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: Hell, I've never seen this z A C. H. Wait, 675 00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: it goes Zach. 676 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 3: I thought it'd be just z A C. 677 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. I agree, they're. 678 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 2: Keeping it and they're still calling Zachary. I was waiting 679 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 2: for Bob Rathmund to say Zach with the move. I 680 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: was waiting for it Zach because I wanted to be immediate, 681 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 2: the first Zachary and then a history still Zachary right now? 682 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 1: Okay, you're going I like that. 683 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 3: You've never been another Zachary. 684 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 4: No, Wow, that's a surprising. 685 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 2: I mean maybe their given name Zach sign it like 686 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,840 Speaker 2: Zach Lavine may have been Zachary when they signed. 687 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 3: They never go by it. 688 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 2: They never go by it. Not a not a man 689 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: in the NBA history has gone by it. 690 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: But I like that Zachary Levine. It's a business like 691 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: season for him. This year, Zachary. Okay, so you're going 692 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: with the number one pick. 693 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know they're all overlooked everybody. 694 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: He's the most over one, number one, like nobody cares. 695 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: It feels like he's like he must have went late 696 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: in the first round, right, No, he was a number 697 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: one pick. Okay, who you're back? And I know you're 698 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: high on Recess as well, but. 699 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually think it's gonna be one of the 700 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 3: top three here, Edie, Shepherd or recessche because they all 701 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,440 Speaker 3: have opportunity. Like, I actually think that re Shepherd is 702 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 3: gonna play quite a bit. It wouldn't surprise me if 703 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: Van Bleid is traded by the end of the season. 704 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,840 Speaker 4: And there. 705 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 3: I just think that the rock are going to want 706 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 3: to see what all of their younger guys can do. 707 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 3: And Shepherd looks like a guy you don't want to 708 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 3: keep off the floor for too long. He's gonna be good. 709 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 3: But I also think that only Edie is locked in 710 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 3: as a starter amongst these three, and you know, the 711 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,960 Speaker 3: Grizzlies and the Rockets and the Hawks, they could all 712 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 3: be at least over five hundred I think, so they're 713 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 3: at least going to be in the mix as competitive teams. 714 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,479 Speaker 3: I just think Edia has the most defined and like 715 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 3: from day one role. So I don't really like taking 716 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 3: the favorite, but I don't think he was the favorite 717 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 3: when I first said I was going to take Ead 718 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 3: back during the summer. 719 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 4: That's right. 720 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's already changed for him because he looks so 721 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 2: good and he looks like he will have a big 722 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 2: role on that. Talking about to. 723 00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: Me, give me Zach Edy a stat line for this season, 724 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: what would we what do you think would get him 725 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: a Rookie of. 726 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,520 Speaker 4: The Year win? What do you what? Picture it? 727 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 3: Give me sixteen points per game okay, ten rebounds on 728 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 3: sixty five percent shooting. 729 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: Okay, and maybe two blocks or something like that. 730 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, maybe, yeah. I think Jared Jackson Junior 731 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 3: blocks more the shots. He maybe he'll lead the league 732 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 3: in box outs though. 733 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 1: That's a good point. 734 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 2: Yeah. 735 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: And screen assists, yeah, oh yeah, you know he's going 736 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: to be It's him and go Bear for a screen 737 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: assist leader. I think, thanks here, I'm going with you. 738 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: I'm taking it's between Recesher and Zach Edie. But I 739 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 1: think Edie just having the starting role there on a 740 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 1: team that's like, you know, won barely any games. Now 741 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: they get their star guys back, Yeah, they could win 742 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: forty five games. They could, you know, obviously even more 743 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,480 Speaker 1: some people think so I think he'll play a part 744 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: in that. You know, he's shooting the three ball too. 745 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: Looks comfortable there from the big guy and a good 746 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: old Canadian boy. So you know you got to play 747 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,840 Speaker 1: that card dark horse Rookie of the year pick. 748 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 2: I got Rob Dillingham, so we all have a Rob. 749 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, a great, great dark horse because you're like a 750 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 3: lot of stuff would have to happen for it to 751 00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 3: be Rob Dillingham. Conley would have to go out basically, 752 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 3: and they'd have to elevate dilling Ham. And he does good. 753 00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess the thing he's got going for him 754 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 2: there is commonly may not play a lot, So he's 755 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 2: gonna come off the bench, he's I think he's gonna shoots. 756 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: I think he is a better player already offensively than 757 00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 2: Niki Alexander Walker. I know that's that's a lot to say, 758 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,040 Speaker 2: but this this dude is just so good. So I 759 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 2: think he's gonna shoot more than on Minnesota. He's just 760 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 2: got the touch, the floaters, the three point shot and 761 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards has already said he reminds me of myself. 762 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 2: He likes it. He likes it because he's super duper confident. 763 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 2: As far as all the highlights your ig highlights is 764 00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,400 Speaker 2: gonna be this guy. I think that that helps Jerky. 765 00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 1: He's fun and his odds are plus two thousand for 766 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Year here, so probably yeah, yeah, down 767 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 1: the board. Okay, so we all have the same guy 768 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: in that one. Let's keep it moving here we might 769 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 1: hit this tight hour six Man of the Year odds 770 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: again by way of bet MGM Malik Monk who should 771 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 1: have won it last year, he's the favorite plus six hundred. 772 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 1: Alex Caruso now on the Thunder plus nine hundred, nasried 773 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: drop your nas reads in the chat. Could he go 774 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 1: back to back for six Man of the Year he 775 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: won it last year? He's plus eleven hundred. Hi May 776 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: Hawka is junior of the Heat same plus eleven hundred odds, 777 00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 1: and then Dante DiVincenzo on the Wolves now plus fourteen hundred, 778 00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 1: so uh TK. Could Naz Reid pull a lou will 779 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,680 Speaker 1: a Debt left shrimp a Kevin McHale and go back 780 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 1: to back six man. 781 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 4: Of the Year. 782 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:26,520 Speaker 3: Nicely done. 783 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:27,279 Speaker 4: I'm scrolling down. 784 00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, I got it. Yeah, Kevin McHale, 785 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: well done, well done. Indeed, I guess it's possible. But 786 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 1: everybody wants Nas Reid to start. Everybody's like, send Julius 787 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: Randall to the bench. So I'm taking Julius Randall. Wow, 788 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: just kidding, just kidding. 789 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,279 Speaker 3: If I were taking a Timberwolf, I would take Dante DiVincenzo. 790 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. 791 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:44,839 Speaker 3: Uh. To be quite honest, I just I think this 792 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 3: is kind of a hard one because I'm like, is 793 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 3: Caruso coming off the bench right now? It looks like 794 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 3: he probably will, but I think he could be a 795 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:54,239 Speaker 3: starter for that team. Kind of feel the same way 796 00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 3: about Hi may hawkas Yeah, first, Dante DiVincenzo could be 797 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,920 Speaker 3: a starter, Reid could be a starter. So my process 798 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 3: love the nation. I guess I'm taking Malik Monk even 799 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 3: like his role is probably going down this year. He 800 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 3: was a huge clutch player for the Kings last season, 801 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,439 Speaker 3: but they brought in to rozen. You know, he's gonna 802 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 3: have the ball in crunch time, just like dearon Foxwell, 803 00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 3: so I don't think he's gonna be as necessary to 804 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 3: the Kings just because they have some more awesome options 805 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 3: at the end of the game. I think it's a 806 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,800 Speaker 3: tough one to figure here. Yeah, I mean, I don't really. 807 00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,919 Speaker 3: I didn't really think I was gonna take Malik Monk, 808 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:33,719 Speaker 3: but I just started talking and it came out. It's like, 809 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 3: I don't know, I feel like I would like to 810 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 3: take de Vincenzo, but I'm like, is he the seventh 811 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,880 Speaker 3: man on the team? Well, okay, I was. 812 00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: I was slightly concerned about Nasried and Dante DiVincenzo like 813 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: cannibalizing each other when it comes to this vote. But 814 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: then I was reminded, uh, could be like Jordan Clarkson 815 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: and Joe Ingalls a couple of years ago, well four 816 00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: years ago now at this point on the Utah Jazz, 817 00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,760 Speaker 1: they went one two in this Clarkson won the Ingle's 818 00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: got a majority of the second place votes running up 819 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: for six minutes. That could happen. So you just like 820 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 1: they get lumped together and they're like, well, it's got 821 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: to go to one of them because they're elite bench, 822 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, so you know, maybe don't be scared if 823 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: you want to take it. 824 00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:18,319 Speaker 4: But all right, I got your concern. Yeah, Okay, you're going. 825 00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: Are you going, Malik Mondo? 826 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 3: No, I'm going, he talked. I wanted to take him. 827 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 3: He told me not to be scared. I just get 828 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 3: a little spooked. It's weak enough. Scary times still thinking 829 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:30,200 Speaker 3: of that Zachy. 830 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,879 Speaker 1: Okay, Dante Devincenza, where are you going? 831 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 2: I'm going with another weird scenario where they could have 832 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 2: two guys that you could vote for with the New 833 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,359 Speaker 2: Orleans Pelicans because who is starting for that team? 834 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 3: Well, Herb Jones is apparently starting at center center. 835 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, so I mean that bodes well for somebody like 836 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 2: Trey Murphy on that team to be the guy coming 837 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 2: off the bench. Because let's just okay, let's we'll talk. 838 00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 2: Because we know Zion starting, we know Herb Jones is starting, 839 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,279 Speaker 2: we know Jante Murray is starting. He's not going. He 840 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 2: is their point guard. 841 00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,440 Speaker 1: Brandon Ingram's got to start, I think. 842 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 2: So at least yeah, yeah, but they don't have a 843 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 2: center then Jones maybe. Okay, so we're CJ McCallum. He 844 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 2: plays on that team too, and then they pay him 845 00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,799 Speaker 2: thirty million dollars. Are they starting six guys? I mean 846 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 2: there are how many guys there? They start like one 847 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 2: of these. 848 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 3: I mean, in this case, Tice is out, he's not starting. 849 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, if Herb Jones is starting at center, which you 850 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 2: think they're lying to us, probably, but it is strange 851 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:32,319 Speaker 2: because they have so many guys. So yeah, okay, so 852 00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 2: if we're starting, this could be the New Orleans Pelicans 853 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,120 Speaker 2: starting team. You're talking, Uh, Johntay Murray is your starting 854 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 2: point guard, McCollum's right beside him, Ingram, Zion, and Herb Jones. Okay, 855 00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 2: that's your starting five. Well, Trey Murphy is the guy 856 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 2: to vote for when it comes to six man because 857 00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,839 Speaker 2: he's just gonna come off in fire because he's so 858 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 2: good at it and he is not playing right now. 859 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 2: He's banged out for a couple of weeks, but he 860 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,759 Speaker 2: should be back, and so he's kind of a dark 861 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,839 Speaker 2: horse in terms of this right now, just because he's out. 862 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,839 Speaker 2: So find him, find him in the betting odds and 863 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 2: take Trey Murphy the third. It is an odd scenario. Yes, 864 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 2: there's just so many guys, so many good players. 865 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 1: There, and that could get blown up in your face 866 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,360 Speaker 1: if they do trade Brandon Ingram and then Trey Murphy 867 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 1: slots into the starting line. 868 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, and then yes, cannot win. 869 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And that's a similar similar thing with Malik 870 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 2: Monk in Sacramento. The guy obviously is a bucket and 871 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 2: he can score coming off the bench, but is he 872 00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:29,799 Speaker 2: going to get enough shots when it comes to the 873 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 2: end of the game. And do they want to go 874 00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:35,400 Speaker 2: in a different direction? Do they Are they going to 875 00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,800 Speaker 2: keep all of those smaller players. Do they want to 876 00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,440 Speaker 2: get taller? Do they want to get because they are 877 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,440 Speaker 2: lacking in that. I know, I know Demotsimois is their 878 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 2: center and that's what he does, but it may be 879 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 2: a time, it might be time to get a little 880 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,279 Speaker 2: bigger and move one of those guys out of there. 881 00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:52,920 Speaker 4: This is tough. This is a very difficult one to 882 00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 4: like try and predict. 883 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,399 Speaker 1: I mean, I love Malik Monk, but yeah, you're right. 884 00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 1: A big part of his case last year that I 885 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:01,759 Speaker 1: kept saying on the show is like this guy takes 886 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: over late. He really does. But now you got you 887 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: already have Fox of course was a part of that equation. 888 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 1: Now he got DeRozan, who's one of the best we've 889 00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: ever seen in terms of fourth quarter scoring. It's like 890 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,799 Speaker 1: this monk get squeezed here a little bit, so I'm 891 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: gonna go with my dark horse pick because I just 892 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,520 Speaker 1: don't like anyone else really on the board. Because you 893 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 1: said it, Trey, half of these guys might be starting 894 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: at some point. Give me Bobby Portis at plus eighteen hundred. 895 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:26,320 Speaker 2: Likes to shoot. 896 00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 1: Nobody likes that pick, I'll tell you that. But he 897 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,080 Speaker 1: finished third last year in this so he's top of 898 00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: mind when it comes to six man. Yeah, he scores. 899 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: He heard fourteen and seven in about twenty five minutes 900 00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 1: per game, good shooting splits fifty forty eighty, and Crazy 901 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 1: Eyes was right there with nas Red when it came 902 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: to wind shares like he does impact winning. So give 903 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 1: me og Bobby Portis for a. 904 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,000 Speaker 4: Six Man of the Year win. 905 00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,280 Speaker 1: I don't love it, but you know this is difficult 906 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,360 Speaker 1: anyone else that you want to show some love to. 907 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 3: I think there's a couple of nice dark horses here. CJ. McCollum, 908 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 3: I actually think is the guy that should come off 909 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,520 Speaker 3: the bench for the Pelicans. He's tenth in odds at 910 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,239 Speaker 3: plus eighteen hundred, and then I like Duce McBride as 911 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 3: well plus two thousand. He's eleventh in odds. Tim's doesn't 912 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 3: play a lot of guys, but he's gonna have to 913 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:13,879 Speaker 3: play Duce McBride. But it's kind of hard to take 914 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,359 Speaker 3: him for six Man of the Year when you're taking 915 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,640 Speaker 3: Jalen Brunson for MVP. You know, I was like, I 916 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 3: ain't a lot of minutes left over for the v 917 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 3: if there's an MVP. But uh yeah, I like both 918 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 3: of those guys. 919 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,040 Speaker 4: I think they're good players. 920 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,319 Speaker 2: I like Duce McBride that pick as well, because this 921 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 2: team is a little thinner and let's say there's more injuries. 922 00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:33,200 Speaker 2: You know, Mitchell Robinson is out, Kat missed some games 923 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,200 Speaker 2: last year, OG missed some games last year. If they 924 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,239 Speaker 2: all go out, this guy's gonna come on the floor 925 00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,480 Speaker 2: and shoot a lot. I think he's he's got the 926 00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:42,399 Speaker 2: ticket to go. But I do like sprinkling your money 927 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 2: amongst all the Pelicans. I don't think. I don't think 928 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,040 Speaker 2: we know who's coming. 929 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 1: Cam Stewart here, Eh yeah, none, golf a little bit 930 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: over here. 931 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 4: That guys on this guy, he'll. 932 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 2: Make cut three dollars for Trey Sprinkle Andrey Murphy CJ gets. 933 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't really no good a good 934 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 2: pun there for dollars. 935 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:07,239 Speaker 1: To put a dollar on Jose Alvarado just for. 936 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:10,439 Speaker 2: Fun throwing down. 937 00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 3: He's seeing a lot of Benedict matharn. 938 00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 4: I wouldn't lie. 939 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,440 Speaker 1: He just scored twenty five points. 940 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 3: And had a great one. Then the Baker. That's what 941 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,240 Speaker 3: I'm gonna call him this season. They did that video 942 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,680 Speaker 3: for their schedule release where apparently like he likes baking goods. 943 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,200 Speaker 3: His team Halliburton, in one of the media days, was like, yeah, 944 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 3: he baked me a great I think it was banana bread, I. 945 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 4: Want to say, or something like that. Cool. 946 00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 3: I forgot ben the Baker. He can score. He's kind 947 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:35,200 Speaker 3: of a forgotten guy for me, just because of how 948 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 3: much time he missed. And you know, the Pacers were 949 00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:38,480 Speaker 3: pretty good in the playoffs. 950 00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:38,800 Speaker 4: And he wasn't around. 951 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's still a good player than the Baker. 952 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: That's a big da because you know he's cooking. 953 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, he's getting hot. 954 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,520 Speaker 3: That's a science, that's true. 955 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 2: I thought his mom cooked a lot for his team. 956 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 4: Yes, menu, yeah, yeah, yeah, So. 957 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,800 Speaker 1: Learn it from his mama. Yeah, Okay, I like that. 958 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: Let's sprinkle sprinkle like a lot of sprinkles. What do 959 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: you sprinkle in baking flour? 960 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,839 Speaker 3: Sprinkles sprinkles. Put him on the top of your cake. 961 00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: You do sprinkle sprinkles. 962 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:15,439 Speaker 2: Let's go to you can get that. You can also 963 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 2: sprinkle salt. Get the salt. 964 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 1: Cookie. Defensive Player of the Year odds. Come on, we're 965 00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:28,359 Speaker 1: trying to get under an hour here, just kidding. Look 966 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 1: at these odds. We have our first like, look at 967 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: these odds. That doesn't really where it is. Nickel Beck 968 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,680 Speaker 1: Mon Yama, the odds on favorite to win this minus 969 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 1: two fifty. Vegas is saying it's his, guys, you'd be 970 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,320 Speaker 1: silly to bet on anyone else. Bam plus twelve hundred 971 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: Rudy Gobert plus fourteen hundred Mobiley Tasso's guy plus sixteen 972 00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: hundred Chet Holmgren also plus sixteen hundred. Rudy Gobert claimed 973 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,600 Speaker 1: his fourth Defensive Player of the Year award last season. 974 00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, his French counterpart here odds on favorite. Can 975 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,720 Speaker 1: you make a case for anyone else TK besides Whoman 976 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 1: Yama or would you be backing him even though you're 977 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 1: not getting a good payout. 978 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 3: I mean, he's gonna win it. He basically told everybody 979 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,479 Speaker 3: at the end of the season last year, I'm gonna 980 00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,839 Speaker 3: win Defensive Player of the Year next year for the 981 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:21,239 Speaker 3: foreseeable future. It's just I feel like it's unfortunate for 982 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:23,880 Speaker 3: Bam out of Bayo, of all people, he never squeezed 983 00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,560 Speaker 3: one in because Go Bear got one last year with 984 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 3: you know, a bounce back season for the timber Wolves. 985 00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 3: I think BAM's chance was the year that Jaron Jackson 986 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 3: Junior won it. Maybe the year Marcus Smart one it 987 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 3: where it was kind of like, we can't do Go 988 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,640 Speaker 3: Bear again, But then Gobert came back last year. 989 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 4: He deserved it. 990 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 3: So I do think it'll be Victor, But I think 991 00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 3: it would be cool if Bam got one. I don't 992 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,280 Speaker 3: think he will. Yeah, I get second though. 993 00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:49,720 Speaker 1: Dam is finished for five consecutive seasons in the top 994 00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 1: five in Defensive Player of the Year, which is pretty wild, 995 00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,160 Speaker 1: Like he's always in the running for this, but always 996 00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:56,880 Speaker 1: a bridesmaid. 997 00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. It's if the voters say, can't give it to 998 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,040 Speaker 2: Victory yet, oh. 999 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: They're like, yeah, he's gonna win twenty of these literally. 1000 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,759 Speaker 2: Yeah. The most anybody has won the Defensive Player of 1001 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 2: the Year is that four is Rudy Gobert, the late 1002 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 2: de Kenmi Matumbo, and Ben Wallas. Yeah. So there's four 1003 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,879 Speaker 2: across the board. If you give Vic his first when 1004 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,439 Speaker 2: he's twenty one, he's gonna surpass those four. He's gonna 1005 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 2: smash it. And maybe that's okay with everybody. But if 1006 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 2: the San Antonio Spurs don't have one of the top 1007 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,160 Speaker 2: five defenses, well that's it. 1008 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,319 Speaker 1: They weren't they like twenty second in defensive rating last year. 1009 00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: Like how high does it? Does it just have to 1010 00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,720 Speaker 1: be above average? Does it have to be top ten? 1011 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,359 Speaker 2: I think it has to be top five. I think 1012 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 2: that would be really good. 1013 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,600 Speaker 1: The Spurs are not going to be top five defenses. 1014 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,080 Speaker 2: Very unlikely. I agree. Yeah, but Victor is going to 1015 00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 2: play more than he did last year. They're going to 1016 00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 2: have a better team than that period, So I think, yeah, 1017 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 2: it depends on what the voter thinks. It would be 1018 00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:56,000 Speaker 2: good to give Bama just a lifetime achievement of war 1019 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 2: for being, you know, top five for so long. He's 1020 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 2: in his prime year and Vick is going to get 1021 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,440 Speaker 2: a thousand of these, So yeah, the BAM won. The 1022 00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 2: BAM part, that's a good one. 1023 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 1: He averaged three point six blocks per game when min 1024 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,680 Speaker 1: Yama did last year led the league. He's good for 1025 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,720 Speaker 1: over a steal a game too with those long arms, 1026 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,200 Speaker 1: and you know rebounds as well, that's usually somewhat part 1027 00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,640 Speaker 1: of the equation. And then like all the shots that 1028 00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,279 Speaker 1: he just deters from people taking because they get around him, 1029 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,560 Speaker 1: They're like, no, I'm not going to do that. So yeah, 1030 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,919 Speaker 1: it's tough not to not to pick him here because 1031 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:30,959 Speaker 1: they're like that whole thing. Last year was like, well, 1032 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 1: we got to give it to Rudy. It's a really 1033 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,319 Speaker 1: good defense and he's done it again. God damn it, Rudy, 1034 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: you did it again. But there was like, yeah, even 1035 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,040 Speaker 1: Wemby saying well, I'm going to win this moving forward, 1036 00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,200 Speaker 1: so thanks for keeping the seat warm. 1037 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,799 Speaker 3: He cares about defense. If he was like if he 1038 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 3: was a guy that was like, oh I'm just seven 1039 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,040 Speaker 3: foot five, I only play offense, he maybe would still 1040 00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,839 Speaker 3: be a contender for defensive. But unfortunately he cares as 1041 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,640 Speaker 3: much on bad end. Yeah, he does about the offensive end, 1042 00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:57,480 Speaker 3: which is impressive. 1043 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I am just fascinated with the Again, 1044 00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:02,320 Speaker 1: we always talk about this award. It's a bit of 1045 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,120 Speaker 1: a team award. It's like your team generally has to 1046 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: be a good defensive unit, and then you pick the 1047 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 1: best defensive player from that to give the award to, 1048 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, hence why sort of Marcus smart one at 1049 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 1: that one year for assultic awesome defensive team. He's a 1050 00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 1: great defensive player, he gets it. You could have given 1051 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:18,680 Speaker 1: it to a couple other guys on that team, for sure, 1052 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 1: But like, how good does the Spurs defense have to be? 1053 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: That's like, if they're fifteenth, you know, if they're average. 1054 00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 2: That ain't good enough. 1055 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,600 Speaker 1: I don't think so either, So that'll be But that's 1056 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:30,400 Speaker 1: gonna be a hell of a debate if he's got 1057 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,439 Speaker 1: four blocks per game and two steals, but they're like, well, 1058 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 1: they're only average. And then you get into obviously the 1059 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,839 Speaker 1: you know, the box plus minus in defensive wind Chares, 1060 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,840 Speaker 1: I get all that and get into the nerdy numbers. 1061 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,480 Speaker 3: I mean he finished second last year and there were 1062 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:45,160 Speaker 3: twenty seconds. 1063 00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I know, I know. 1064 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:48,799 Speaker 3: If they move up to fifteen, people be like, what 1065 00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,880 Speaker 3: an improvement. They're one of the best defensive teams in 1066 00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:51,640 Speaker 3: there right now, and you. 1067 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,160 Speaker 1: Know why, Okay, I'm picking them and I'm not gonna 1068 00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 1: overthink it. Wendy's gonna win this. Uh do you have 1069 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 1: a dark horse pick though? 1070 00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:01,479 Speaker 2: In that Marcus smart Light. I think Drew Holiday could 1071 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 2: get his first of his career. It would be difficult, 1072 00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 2: but if they prop themselves up to the top defense, 1073 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,040 Speaker 2: which would not be surprising at all, and you know, 1074 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 2: somebody like Minnesota drops off a little bit, I think 1075 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 2: there's a good chance there. It would be sort of 1076 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,960 Speaker 2: a career award for him as well. Six time All 1077 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:24,399 Speaker 2: Defensive player but never the All Defensive trophy. Yeah, he's 1078 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 2: been on six All defensive teams, but I don't know. 1079 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 2: Everybody always says in that GM survey as well, who's 1080 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 2: the best perimeter defender? That guy? Yeah, And so you know, 1081 00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,600 Speaker 2: when when it comes down to if the voters have 1082 00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 2: to debate, mmmm, this is Victor Rouman Yama guy, he's 1083 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:38,520 Speaker 2: not on. 1084 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 4: A good enough defense. 1085 00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 2: That guy who's you know, one of the better perimeter players. 1086 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,760 Speaker 2: Maybe one of those rare events or those rare times 1087 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 2: where that perimeter player gets it. There's a chance there's 1088 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:51,520 Speaker 2: a chance you. 1089 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: Can make a case for anyone else a dark horse. 1090 00:47:54,160 --> 00:48:04,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, nay, nay, I cannot, No, I can't. 1091 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 3: But also a horse nag, Yeah, I'm very good, that 1092 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 3: good everybody, but Victor has a dark horse. 1093 00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,440 Speaker 1: Really well, right, I thought you might come on here 1094 00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 1: and convince me Caruso could get some votes. 1095 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:16,399 Speaker 3: He's a guard. 1096 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:17,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the problem. 1097 00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 3: I think Drew Holliday would probably win it before Caruso does. 1098 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,919 Speaker 1: Give me a Herb Jones at plus What sixty six 1099 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,640 Speaker 1: hundred are his odds? Now that we know he's playing center, 1100 00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: Herb Jones sixty? 1101 00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 3: Is he even that? 1102 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:33,439 Speaker 4: I don't. 1103 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't know, he's not. Maybe not. But if this 1104 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,720 Speaker 1: works and they're saying they're gonna try it, my god, 1105 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: like he'd get some credit. And he's an incredible defender. 1106 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,359 Speaker 1: And you got all his teammates already wearing Herb Jones 1107 00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:49,040 Speaker 1: for Defensive Player of the Year shirt campaign is already swelling. Okay, 1108 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,759 Speaker 1: give me Herb Jones as a dark horse, but I 1109 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 1: got Wemby like you guys. 1110 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,040 Speaker 2: It makes sense on offense, for sure, zon with five 1111 00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,040 Speaker 2: guys who can shoot, four guys who can shoot. Of course, 1112 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:00,279 Speaker 2: let's have Herb out there. But I want on the 1113 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:01,880 Speaker 2: defensive end, how good it's going to be. 1114 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 1: It's like IRV Jones is gonna have to be playing 1115 00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:10,400 Speaker 1: like Zach Edy, you know, Yo Kich and all the 1116 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:15,040 Speaker 1: monsters there. Hey, i'd like to see him try final 1117 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 1: award here. Coach of the Year, Yeah, oh yeah. The 1118 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,399 Speaker 1: guys in the Zip ups Tomtebeau for the Knicks plus 1119 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:25,560 Speaker 1: seven hundred, he's the favorite. 1120 00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,840 Speaker 2: He's got a lot of lint. If you're on YouTube here, yeah, 1121 00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:32,640 Speaker 2: look at that. That's a not a very good photo, right, 1122 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,040 Speaker 2: It's a ton of lint. 1123 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 3: On Zip really attracts the lint hard to get off. 1124 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 1: It is washed it Udoka of the Rockets plus eight hundred, 1125 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 1: Jenkins with the Grizzlies plus eight fifty, Jamal Mosley with 1126 00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,279 Speaker 1: the Magic plus one thousand, and Nick Nurse seventy six 1127 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,600 Speaker 1: ers plus twelve hundred. TK gets started here. Do you 1128 00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,320 Speaker 1: like one of those names for your Coach of the 1129 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: Year prediction? Or are you going off the board? 1130 00:49:58,160 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 4: Who am I going with? 1131 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,719 Speaker 3: I don't know. I feel the same way about Eric 1132 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 3: Spolsro as I do Bam out of bio like Spolstrus 1133 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,520 Speaker 3: should have a Coach of the Year, and he's a 1134 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 3: little bit of a dark horse here plus sixteen hundred, 1135 00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,960 Speaker 3: he's at ninth, but I think I will take Kenny 1136 00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 3: Atkinson shall be my choice plus two thousand. He's eleventh 1137 00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,640 Speaker 3: in odds. I just think you know, of Evan Mobley, 1138 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 3: win's most improved player becomes an All Star. I think 1139 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,000 Speaker 3: the Calves can be good. I think the Calves can 1140 00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:25,680 Speaker 3: at least be as good as they were last season, 1141 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:27,680 Speaker 3: and maybe they can look a little bit more cohesive 1142 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,520 Speaker 3: on the offensive end with Kenny Atkinson coming in and 1143 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 3: changing up the systems and that kind of stuff. I 1144 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,000 Speaker 3: think you'll be able to see the Calves did nothing 1145 00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,759 Speaker 3: basically this offseason besides bringing Kenny Atkinson, but I think 1146 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,320 Speaker 3: you'll be able to see the improvement in the team 1147 00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:45,319 Speaker 3: compared to JB. Bickerstaff there in years past. So I 1148 00:50:45,360 --> 00:50:49,080 Speaker 3: think that just the scenario, similar to Budenholzer coming in 1149 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:52,120 Speaker 3: with the Suns, another good choice. I think for Coach 1150 00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:53,920 Speaker 3: of the Year, you'll just be able to say, oh, 1151 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,319 Speaker 3: it was the coach that changed things here, because the 1152 00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:57,759 Speaker 3: coach is the only thing that changed here. 1153 00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Spoolster's got to get one at some point, I 1154 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,760 Speaker 2: totally agree, But who has the best narrative. I definitely 1155 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,920 Speaker 2: think Cleveland could get Kenny Atkinson one. Also Jamal Moseley 1156 00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:09,839 Speaker 2: being up there in the odds, I think there's a 1157 00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,800 Speaker 2: reason for that because they could easily be a fifty 1158 00:51:11,840 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 2: win team ye and prop up. And they had such 1159 00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,920 Speaker 2: a good defense last year that is likely to keep up. 1160 00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 2: And I think their offense can take a big jump 1161 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 2: strictly because Paul Boncaro is going to get better with 1162 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:27,520 Speaker 2: a shooter out there, but also just get better having 1163 00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,600 Speaker 2: the ball run through him and Jalen Suggs will be 1164 00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 2: nice and fresh on the both on the both ends 1165 00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:36,239 Speaker 2: because Casey p will be taking the other team's best player. 1166 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 2: So most has got a great story. It's it's all 1167 00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 2: about story with the coach of the Year. 1168 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:41,040 Speaker 1: So that's your pick. 1169 00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:41,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm good. 1170 00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:44,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go off the board for my pick. I'm 1171 00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:48,840 Speaker 1: going Mike Budenholzer with the Suns plus twenty five hundred, 1172 00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:50,239 Speaker 1: so he's quite far down this list. 1173 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:50,840 Speaker 4: Good odds. 1174 00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,920 Speaker 1: He needs to take the Suns, who were probably just 1175 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,319 Speaker 1: on the periphery of a top ten team last year. 1176 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,560 Speaker 1: He needs to take them to sixty wins for him 1177 00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,360 Speaker 1: to get this. But guess what, Boonholzer has done that 1178 00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,439 Speaker 1: twice before and one coach of the year. Both times 1179 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 1: he did it, he did with the Hawks when they 1180 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 1: won sixty games, and he did it with the Bucks 1181 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 1: when they won sixty games. Can he do it a 1182 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,480 Speaker 1: third time? Can they add what would that be? When 1183 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 1: they went forty nine last year? We said, yeah, can 1184 00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:17,919 Speaker 1: they You know, they did have to have an incredible year, 1185 00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:20,399 Speaker 1: but I think that would do it. So I'll take 1186 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,919 Speaker 1: him as sort of my dark horse pick as well. 1187 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: Quick trivia question. Only coaches to win three Coach of 1188 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,560 Speaker 1: the Year awards? Can you name them? And he guesses 1189 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:31,400 Speaker 1: so many. 1190 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:37,239 Speaker 3: Phil Jackson, No, no, no, Red No. We Coach of 1191 00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:40,360 Speaker 3: the Years Greg Greg Popovich is the only one to 1192 00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 3: do it with one teams. 1193 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 4: Yep, yep, yep, yep. 1194 00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,080 Speaker 1: Then this guy did it with two teams, and one 1195 00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:46,840 Speaker 1: guy did it with three teams. 1196 00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 4: Is what I'm saying. Bud's gonna hopefully. 1197 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:52,160 Speaker 3: Tom's got one. 1198 00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,080 Speaker 1: You would love to hang out with this one coach? 1199 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,920 Speaker 3: You specifically, I would love to hang out with this one. 1200 00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,759 Speaker 4: Coach Rick Carlisle. 1201 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:05,040 Speaker 1: He's no longer a coach I wanted. He's still with us. 1202 00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe Don Nelson Nelson eighty four years old, 1203 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:14,360 Speaker 3: fish tie Hawaii. I would actually yeah. Man Ethan Sherwood 1204 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 3: Strauss once wrote an article about hanging out with Don 1205 00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,880 Speaker 3: Nelson on his farm founded awesome exactly. 1206 00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 1: And then the only coach to do it with three 1207 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:25,759 Speaker 1: different teams, which actually did surprise me. I was like, 1208 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:29,719 Speaker 1: holy crap, he did this three different teams. Uh, famously 1209 00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:37,920 Speaker 1: well well dressed man, Pat Lakers Nick's heat there you go, 1210 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:43,279 Speaker 1: Ken Budenholzer join that list, and uh, not a well 1211 00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:44,839 Speaker 1: dressed man, I would say, Mikeenholzer. 1212 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,600 Speaker 2: They're naming uh the pat riley is it gets a 1213 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:51,680 Speaker 2: court named after him? 1214 00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:53,160 Speaker 1: In my Oh yeah, that's right, that's right. 1215 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:53,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. 1216 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,480 Speaker 1: Oh so Larry Brown did it in the A B A. 1217 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,880 Speaker 4: I should say that a lot of coach of the. 1218 00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,480 Speaker 2: Year within Uh John Tom Tibodau is not a well 1219 00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 2: dressed coach. 1220 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,040 Speaker 1: Well, nobody is anymore. That's the problem. 1221 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,920 Speaker 2: That is the problem. Yeah. Eric Coon on the stream 1222 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,440 Speaker 2: team says, Tims sleeps in his half zip. You know 1223 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,919 Speaker 2: what I wouldn't. I would not be surprised. 1224 00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 1: Any other dark horse picks, just like you know, throw 1225 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,920 Speaker 1: a dart at the board here and say, well, why 1226 00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:23,600 Speaker 1: not this guy for Coach. 1227 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:23,759 Speaker 4: Of the year. 1228 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 2: People like Doc Rivers. There's there's an outside chance, so 1229 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:28,800 Speaker 2: he gets a lot of wins. 1230 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:30,959 Speaker 1: You know what's funny that you bring up Doc Rivers 1231 00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:33,360 Speaker 1: because I was thinking because it feels so open in 1232 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: a weird way. For Coach of the Year, I was like, 1233 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 1: could this be a year where a team that was 1234 00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,440 Speaker 1: garbage last year suddenly is like in a play in 1235 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 1: situation like they're flirting with five hundred that they get 1236 00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:48,759 Speaker 1: love like Doc Rivers did with the Magic once upon 1237 00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 1: a time way back in ninety nine two thousand. The 1238 00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,080 Speaker 1: Magic went forty one and forty one and they missed 1239 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 1: the playoffs, but they had a garbage team in all honesty, 1240 00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:00,960 Speaker 1: it was like led by darl Armstrong, no offence and 1241 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,719 Speaker 1: dear a Armstrong, but like they you know, had a 1242 00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,520 Speaker 1: really good year. Point is, could the Hornets with Charles 1243 00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,719 Speaker 1: Lee do that this year? Could Bickerstaff with the Pistons 1244 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,080 Speaker 1: do that this year? Usually Coach of the Year it 1245 00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,399 Speaker 1: goes to a team that wins fifty plus games, right, 1246 00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:20,680 Speaker 1: generally even more, But maybe maybe this's a weird year, 1247 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 1: like one of those bottom of the barrel teams like 1248 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,400 Speaker 1: has like a crazy increase where it's like they're like 1249 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,040 Speaker 1: in a plan and like, oh yeah, let's give. 1250 00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:27,400 Speaker 4: The credit to him. 1251 00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:29,759 Speaker 3: I don't know, so you're telling me to sprinkle, just 1252 00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:30,720 Speaker 3: sprinkle a little. 1253 00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:35,920 Speaker 1: I was on number thirty odds, my guy, Billy Donald. No, 1254 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,200 Speaker 1: I did not say that odds on. 1255 00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:41,560 Speaker 3: The board, Bulls going forty one and forty one, taking 1256 00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,080 Speaker 3: home the nine seed once again, hang the banner, Billy 1257 00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 3: Coach of the year. 1258 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:46,280 Speaker 4: No. 1259 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,759 Speaker 3: No, because because the balls were worth a sprinkle. No, 1260 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:49,200 Speaker 3: because the. 1261 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,799 Speaker 1: Bulls weren't that bad last year. That would be like 1262 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 1: a two win improvement if they went forty one forty one. 1263 00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,360 Speaker 1: I need, I need the Pistons, I need the Wizards. 1264 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,640 Speaker 1: Sprinkle a little on Keith, Sprinkle a little on Charles 1265 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,480 Speaker 1: Lee with the Hornets. You know, obviously I don't think billups, 1266 00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:09,080 Speaker 1: but uh, Bickerstaff, Like I said, with the piston, sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle, Come. 1267 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,480 Speaker 2: On, Salt Bay, do some sprinkling on some odds. I 1268 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 2: think that's why people in a similar scenario, some people 1269 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,640 Speaker 2: say that Victor Roman Yama could it be MVP? You 1270 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,120 Speaker 2: take a team from where they are to a play 1271 00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:22,680 Speaker 2: in Ish. 1272 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:27,480 Speaker 1: Team, Popovich fourth Coach of the year. Hell of a call, 1273 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 1: But they won twenty two games last year. 1274 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,440 Speaker 3: This is why I stuck around. You want to be 1275 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,359 Speaker 3: the first guy to win four Coaches of the Year. 1276 00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 2: Wow, Pavich ain't accepting that award. No way, he wouldn't accept. 1277 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,360 Speaker 2: He's not taking the call. He's like, I give it 1278 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 2: to somebody else. 1279 00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,239 Speaker 1: Okay, all right, those are the six major awards. And 1280 00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking, why didn't you guys do 1281 00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:49,040 Speaker 1: Clutch Player. 1282 00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:49,120 Speaker 4: Of the Year. 1283 00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,480 Speaker 1: Good question, Well, Ben MGM didn't have the odds for 1284 00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:55,880 Speaker 1: one thing. I'm sure they're out there on some other books, 1285 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,480 Speaker 1: but I don't know. Clutch Player of the Year still 1286 00:56:58,480 --> 00:56:59,799 Speaker 1: seems like a fake award to me. 1287 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 3: Kind of. 1288 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,200 Speaker 1: It feels more like the Hustle Award than it does 1289 00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,960 Speaker 1: one of these awards that is voting, but it is voting, right, 1290 00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 1: it's voting. Get one of the sexy weird vases. 1291 00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:14,000 Speaker 4: You know. I believe that. 1292 00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:16,160 Speaker 3: They get a Victor Solomon, But I don't know. 1293 00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,240 Speaker 1: But you want to call your shot, Clutch Player of the. 1294 00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:22,680 Speaker 2: Year calling a shot?

He's the odds leader 1299 00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:42,400 Speaker 3: him Shay, Luca, Edwards and Brunson, and I guess Damian 1300 00:57:42,440 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 3: Leward is tied. With Brunson.
