Like there's just more teams.

And I think it's harder to be competitive in Milwaukee now than it would have been then whenever there's just like, like we say, fewer teams on the board and players maybe haven't like embraced free agency in the way that they have now and been able to move in the way that they can now.

So bringing them from, you know, the bottom to what he did

in the current modern NBA, it has to count for something.

I think one thing that is pretty inarguable is that if we're looking at most important bucks, I think Thanasis is in the top five.

I mean, he is.

I think he deserves his day.

Michael Redd, Big Dog, Thanasis, they're kind of all the same, you know?

So it's hard, but I want to make sure we give him a shout out because his contributions have been enormous.

I think Jalen Johnson's the most complete offensive player in the East right now.

Ooh, wow.

Most complete?

He's averaging 23, 11, and 8.

He's shooting 50% from the field.

He's shooting 35% from threes on, like, almost five attempts a game as a big.

I mean, he's, like, taking off from a step inside the free throw line and dunking on Nick Claxton.

Like, this is... I think that he can do more...

on the offensive end, sort of across the spectrum than anybody else in the East.

I think Tatum would be more... Yeah, Tatum's definitely got an argument to be more complete, but he's hurt right now.

I'm not taking Jalen Johnson over... I'm definitely not taking him over Cade, which that will come up later.
