So I put a lot of stock in the record for MVP.

For Rookie of the Year, traditionally, I really haven't done that because a lot of times if you're a high pick, chances are you go to a team that's pretty poor overall.

They don't have that much talent.

Now, the two best players on Dallas, Anthony Davis barely played, got traded, Kyrie didn't play.

But if you go back and look at that draft from last year, so Cooper goes first to Dallas.

Dylan Harper joined San Antonio, right?

So think about the situation he walked into.

Vijay Edgecombe walks into, yeah, Philadelphia's got issues and stuff, but he's walking into a pretty good team.

And then obviously, Concanipple, who I think has done a lot to elevate that group.

I love Concanipple.

I said it all year long.

Like, my three favorite players this season, I'd always change it, was Concanipple.

I love Nikhil Alexander-Walker, and I also love Jaime Jaquez because I think his sister's great that plays for UCLA.

And when you watch him play, he can't shoot three-pointers.

So guess what, Ryan?

He doesn't shoot them.

He actually goes to the basket and scores.

I love a guy that knows, like, I'm not really a three-point shooter.

Absolutely.

Just play hard and go to the basket.
