Howard Beck

We, we won't see the actual identities or, you know, the, the actual specific individual ballots.

We won't get all of that information until the entire award cycle is over, but I am very curious to see who knocked conk nipple to, uh, to third, uh, one ballot did everybody else had, uh, Cooper flag and conk nipple were, were one, two, two, one on, on all of them.

Um,

A couple people left off EJ Edgecombe in favor of either Dylan Harper or Cedric Howard in one case.

I'm curious about those.

Not second guessing anybody's bouts.

I'm just very, I'm interested to see.

But it was tough, man.

Like, look, at the end of it all,

Cooper flag was outstanding and outstanding in a super difficult context.

And it's hard to like shut out the context of in these two cases, right?

This was the most unique rookie of the year race I've seen in a while because their cases were so different.

And because Khan, it was hard to not think about the impact he had on the Hornets.

It wasn't just, Oh, his great three point shooting.

And also by the way, his playmaking and, and, you know, rebounding other stuff like he,

he was a net positive for them and was a big part of why they went from lottery team to a team that should have made the first round of the playoffs.

Um,

Khan was a huge influence on that and had a great season.

And in some respects was better than Cooper, mostly on the shooting, right?

And the efficiency.
