Why the Grizzlies fired Taylor Jenkins + DPOY Madness | Slam N Jam

And then the guy, Tyler Kolek, is playing behind. Campaign in Phoenix during the 21-22 season. And I thought that was fun because I was on the Nick subreddit. I was just reading comments because, you know, they're getting excited about Tyler Kolek. And now it's become this thing like, who should be playing some of these minutes? Like, should Tyler Kolek be getting more minutes than Campaign?

They're going back and forth. And it's just funny that Campaign was actually the last guy, one of the last guys to do this. Don't get much more fun than that, Andrew, for a Tyler Kolek stat, I would argue. It did.

I'm surprised the Clippers are there because I know Zubat's, his individual rim defense numbers are good. So it must be when he's off the court or something else. I also think it's very impressive that Boston's up there just knowing how much time Porzingis has missed this season. Who's like the main guy you think is their rim defender.

But as I talked about last week, Cornette has been really good. Did you talk about our guy Cornette? That's right. That's right. So finally, Andrew, that brings us to, oh no, not finally, our favorite player. This week, my favorite player. So I was using this week to catch up on some rookies. Led me to doing a bit of a deep dive on Zachary Resache for the Atlanta Hawks.

Having a very nice end to his rookie season. Now, he didn't have a great game Thursday night against the Heat. But for the month of March, he's averaging just under 15 points per game. 53-38-71 splits. If you stretch it back to January 1st, his shooting splits are 50-40-74. Now, I remember watching the draft with you, Andrew, and not being in to Zachary Versace at all.

I couldn't believe this guy was going first. And through the early part of the season, when his efficiency was so bad, I felt like I could maintain that position, even as he had some flashes, like when he scored 33 in his ninth game. But going back and watching him more this week, I really undervalued him. I mean, yes, like compared to past number one picks, okay, sure.

But like he already does so many helpful things on the court. And with his skills and his size, his floor is already so solid as a 19-year-old NBA rookie. Like he gets his shot off so quick. His three ball has really started to look good. He moves well off ball. He just looks so much more confident. His finishing around the rim has improved these last couple months.
