But Kelton Johnson is not as good as A.J.

Mitchell.

Those guys are different classes of player to a point where, yeah, there is a 400-minute gap between them.

And I'm completely comfortable with it because A.J.

Mitchell is a lot better than Kelton Johnson is.

I also want to, uh, I know we already moved on from most improved, but like, because of the 65 game rule, like Danis Jenkins, Anthony black, all those guys were ineligible.

And yeah, the fact that it's also not applying to something like six man, it's dumb.

I mean, one of Keldon or, uh, Jaime Hawkins are going to win.

And both of those guys are above 65 games.

So we're not going to like chat about this into perpetuity.

Not that anyone really cares about the historical winners of six man.

Um,

But I think the only other candidate worth flagging along those lines is Isaiah Stewart, who even by my looser games and minutes standards, like I think just maybe didn't quite play enough between the injuries and the suspensions, but is as impactful as any bench player in the league and certainly as good defensively as any bench player in the league.

though in this six-man conversation?

Do we have to?

I think we do have to.

And I say that as somebody who has been a skeptic of Tim Hardaway Jr.

for a long time.

He turned into the Nuggets security blanket this season, and it's been really cool to watch.

But he is like, Christian Brown is struggling.
