One more thing.

I don't think Cooper Flag's rookie of the year, but he's got a great case that one of his teammates made. Welcome, you're still locked on to the Dallas Mavericks, your team every day. My name is Big Engstead. It's the one more thing. And we're breaking down. Cooper Flagg's rookie of the year talk because Ryan Nemhard made a big pitch for why Cooper Flag should be rookie of the year. He gave a step by step. All right, this is why he should. And so I'm going to break all that down, break down stats between Cooper Flag and Concanipal. And then also I want to go through the historical significance of like, all right, how many rookie of the years have been close like this? How many? What was it decided by? And so there are a couple of good examples that I think we can go through.

And so let's start here. I think at this point, I think Concaniple has one rookie of the year. I've been kind of resigned to that. I haven't done a ton of like, you know, pitching for Cooper Flagg to win rookie of the year. I think that the con's case, con conchitable case for the Hornets has just been really solid.

He's had incredibly efficient shoot. win rookie of the year. I think that the con's case, con conchidable case for the Hornets has just been

really solid. He's had incredibly efficient shooting season, like one of the best shooters in

the entire NBA this year. And it's just really hard to look at them head to head and look at

what Khan's done on a team that's going to be in the playoffs probably

and look at him, you know, 19 points a game, 43% from 3, almost shooting 49% from the field,

87% of the free throw line, like the effective field goal percentage, the true shooting percentage

is just incredible for Concanipple.

He's having an insane year.

And then you look at Cooper Flag and the case for Cooper Flag is he's been, he's averaging

more points, more rebounds, more assists.

He's asked to do a different thing.

The context of him on his team is completely different.

Every rookie that's averaged 20.6 boards and four assists has one rookie of the year.

Luca was the last one. Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and then you got to go back like a long time.

Elgin Baylor, Oscar Robinson, Kareem, Sidney Wicks. It's unprecedented what both of these guys are

doing. That's the thing that it's pretty awesome about this rookie of the year run is that both these guys are doing insane things. And I think, and you look at the odds right now, Fanduel has Concaniphol is like minus 130 and Cooper Flags like plus 190. And so Concanipple is the favorite there. You look at some of the other like, you know, betting things or prediction things. And you can see now like the graphs on some of them, the Concanibble's momentum has just completely swung. Even things like, you know, worldwide wobb on Twitter is this guy that follows the NBA, you know, real closely. He's been doing this. He does this thing where like each week he decides, All right, who is the rookie of the year? Who is the MVP? He puts their face up there.

And it was Cooper where, like, each week he decides, all right, who is, who is the rookie

of the year? Who is the MVP? He, like, puts their face up there. And it was Cooper Flagg for, like, the first, like, 15 weeks almost. And then the last four or five, he switched it to Con Cnapple. The momentum of these teams, of these two guys, is completely shifted. And Cooper Flagg going out with that injury, I think really hurt him.

And Concanibble on this surging Hornets team that became a big story has really helped his case.
