J.E. Skeets

Well, we're back here to con canipple being the slight favorite tasks.

You know, if you had the ballot, how would you fill this one out with a couple of days left?

Okay, that's interesting.

I wanted to ask you that because usually with Rookie of the Year, we don't give a shit about that.

The team's success or lack of it.

Because I guess when we're debating Rookie of the Year, they're usually on bad teams and you're just like, well, who's the best rook?

Either stat-wise or eye tests or whatever.

But you are putting something into it.

You're saying between this one, again, if this is a close one,

in terms of their numbers and stuff like that, yeah, Kahn's a little more efficient, but Cooper is the more well-rounded player and does have better stats, like counting stats, but you're saying the Hornets' success and the impact he's had on winning basketball, that makes you veer a little bit more towards Knipple, which I think is fair, but some people say, now you're moving the goalposts, you know?

Like, no one cared about that ever.

Yeah, 4 and 14 to start out of the game.

And they did him no favors.

No.

They had no point guard.

That was a mistake.

And then, obviously, they have the huge, you know, still the fallout of the Luka trade and all that, and Anthony Davis then being traded, and then they leaned into tanking.

I mean...

I'm saying he's been dealt a tough hand here for a number one.

But he was fine, by the way.
