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.

And so for that reason, I went with Khan.

He's eighth and three point percentage in the entire NBA when you whittle it down to just volume shooter.

So taking over five a game, he's second to Jamal Murray.

Yeah, he's already one of the best shooters in the league.

I quibble, I guess, when it comes to how much credence you would give Cooper because of the context where it's just like that team isn't like awful.

I recognize pretty bad.
