And the efficiency was not even close.

But Cooper Flagg hadn't beat on everything else, but was dragged down by, you know, in perception by the Mavericks having a crappy season, largely due to shitty roster slash injuries.

But you had to separate it all out.

And I think wins can be a tiebreaker.

And I think impact on winning can be a factor in Rookie of the Year.

But it's Rookie of the Year, not MVP.

MVP wins always matter a ton.

There are certain other awards where the wins are a huge factor.

Rookie of the year, you can't let it be an overwhelming factor.

And in the end of it all, for me, I just thought, uh, you know, Cooper flag, you know, everybody has seen the stats.

He did things that, you know, you know, that Mike hadn't been done since Michael Jordan was a rookie and leading his team and like points, rebounds, assists, all this kind of stuff.

Some of the outstanding games he had individually, uh,

But it was tough.

He played 11 fewer games than Khan.

Khan was much more efficient.

And Khan did contribute to the Hornets being a much better team this season.

Even if that's not the main factor, it was a factor worth considering.

But congrats to Cooper Flagg.

Congrats to Khan.

Nobody saw that coming for it to be a race this close when these two guys were drafted last June.
