Now, one more thing, Andrew, before we get to our guest this week, back right around the All-Star game. We picked a few names who we thought might make a post-All-Star break leap. And I wanted to do a first and second team all post-All-Star break leaps. It's a mouthful. So my second team, Shane Sharp, one of my picks. Zachary Richachet, Steph Castle, Aaron Neesmith, and Cade Cunningham.

That's my second team. Okay, first team, I'm going to go in a little bit more depth. First, we got Quentin Grimes, which was also one of my picks. He had maybe the funniest pre to post splits. 11-4-2 pre, 23-5-5 post all-star break. What? What's really funny, though, is if you look at net rating, like how the team played when he was on the court, pre-All-Star break, minus 0.6.

Post-All-Star break, minus 14.6 because he was playing on the Sixers, of course. Wow. Now, his true shooting percentage basically was unchanged. This was just a guy, which actually is very impressive because he got a lot more usage and he was still able to maintain his efficiency. Quentin Grimes might just be a good player. So it'll be very interesting to see what he gets this summer.

Second name, Denny Obdio. We talk about him a lot. Pre-All-Star break, 15-6-3. Post-All-Star break, 23-10-5. His net rating swing, minus 5.2 to plus 5.8. He was huge. And then some names that I just wasn't thinking of. We're going to get to an obvious name, but some names I wasn't thinking of. Tyrese Halliburton. Now, if you just look at the counting stats, it doesn't seem that significant.
