And so the fact that he's coming in so cold and now showing signs of life, and if he has a big

big year next season, like that kind of makes the case for this sort of award and this sort of candidacy.

It might be a bit of a long shot, but as far as what we can take away from March, I'm hopeful there's something real in here.

I think Guy Santos and we should mention Moses Moody as well, who was playing quite well for the Warriors before this, I mean, just terrible, the injury.

We wish him a speedy recovery.

But those are two guys who all of a sudden are just like turning over new pages in their games.

I like the Guy Santos call.

I...

I wonder just because the construction of next year's Warriors is so up in the air, how prominent of a role he will end up playing.

But I think because of the finances of their roster, and if they are going big game hunting, if they are trying to bring in other stars or angle for LeBron James or whatever it may be,

Guy Santos' salary slot is uncharacteristically important.

Getting his level of production out of that place in the roster has turned out to be really crucial for them.

So maybe he will end up just being vital for the Warriors now and forevermore.

It's true.

But at least he can play.

I want to run through some other guys who are playing well right now who will not win this award.

But because we're kind of running out of time in the regular season, I want to sort of give them their moment and their flowers.

Yeah.

Jairus Walker, of course, I will probably bring him up again just because that's what this podcast has become.

Gigi Jackson, Josh Minot, who with the Nets has been just given a chance to do some more stuff offensively and really taking it and run with it.
