I'd be okay with it.
Uh, I have, I have Jalen Brown at four and you can tell me one way or another with Mitchell or Kawhi.
Um,
All right, why don't we take another break?
When we come back, let's talk about the rest of these awards.
All right, Rookie of the Year.
Another one hotly contested.
I feel like this is much more difficult for a lot of other people than it is for me.
I feel like it's been con for a little while.
I do think this is a very similar debate to Yoko Shea where it's like best player versus best season.
And while I think that flag is the better player and long term will probably be the better player.
I think Khan's had one of the best, most special, potentially historic rookie seasons just in terms of a production standpoint than I can remember.
Just like the lights out from shooting, just like an absolutely like dialed in version of the type of player that he's set to become.
And then he's doing it
to power as a foundational player for a very good team.
The fact that he has a positive plus minus just over on the season, let alone a plus 3.9 is like rookies just don't do that.
They aren't positive contributors to a season when it comes to the data.
And to that point, I don't believe flag is for whatever that is worth.
But I do think that's indicative of like
Khan has been a good driving force of a good playoff team, whereas Flag's been an excellent rookie still finding his way.
