And also not really anticipating that Dylan Brooks was suddenly going to become like the greatest Devin Booker wingman we've seen in some time.

So he's he's you know, he's brought the the offensive power.

output to now back up a lot of the swagger that was going with his just general defensive tenacity and annoyingness and everything else.

And yes, there is never a bad time to watch LeBron versus Dylan Brooks.

Dylan Brooks, Lance Stevenson, like who else is on the Mount Rushmore of LeBron annoyers over the years?

Like those two have to be the top.

Um,

Many of those noted, but I'm going to go in another direction here once again.

I was really tempted to pick a different game involving the Hornets, but I'm not.

I am picking Mavericks at Hornets, March 3rd, Cooper Flagg versus Conn Knipple, part two.

Low-key, super close rookie of the year race, I believe.

I know everybody kind of has handed it to Cooper Flagg and probably handed it to him, you know, the three seconds after he was drafted.

And I get it.

In his draft position and just his overall body of work, I think justifies a lot of people just kind of leaning hard that way.

But

Statistically, this is actually a dead heat.

Cooper Flagg averaging 20.6 rebounds for assists, give or take.

Conn, Knipple, 19-5-3.

The shooting splits are obviously leaning heavily in Conn's favor, especially because of his three-point shooting, 43% to Flagg's 30.

They're both just doing great things.
