0:00.0	This is an IHeart podcast.
0:10.6	On this episode of the heat check, we've got a bonus episode, baby.
0:14.6	I go over the five rookies to watch for this NBA upcoming season,
0:18.1	and I give my pick, my official pick, for Rookie of the Year.
0:22.8	Guess what?
0:23.5	It's not Paolo Bancaro.
0:25.1	We also recorded this Thursday night on BedMGM Tonight, which I co-host with my guys,
0:29.9	Ryan Horvott and PJ Glasser from the BeckQL Studios and the DMV.
0:34.5	So Nick, drop that motherfucking beat.
0:41.8	Music and the DMV. So Nick, drop that motherfucking beat. So I was thinking about what we could talk about that would have some level of general
0:48.9	NBA intrigue and also some betting intrigue. And also that I haven't completely done exhaustive work on
0:57.5	and put out on the pod so that if anyone's listening, it's a fan, they're not feeling like
1:01.9	things are redundant. So the thing that I haven't discussed yet, and I'm kind of shocked that I
1:06.5	haven't, we gave out our top 10 under the radar of players to watch. But right now, I think we should talk
1:12.5	about rookie of the year. I think we should discuss my top five and then my one that I'm actually
1:19.2	going to bet on and then maybe we'll have some time for you guys to sound off. Tell me what you
1:23.9	guys think and who you're putting money on. So rookie of the year, I think this year's class is very special.
1:30.4	At one point, it was like a little bit suspect where people thought there was only like
1:34.5	three guys in the upper tier.
1:36.3	Paulo Bancaro, Chet Holmgren, Jabari Smith, right?
1:39.8	Paolo from Duke, Chet Holmgren from Gonzaga and Jabari Smith out of Auburn. But then you see Summer League and then you see preseason and now you realize, okay, well, what we saw from Arizona and Ben Mathrin, oh my God, maybe there's more depth in this draft and maybe there's more of an open field than everybody thought, right? So the question is, how do you pick a winner? So I'm going to go over the five rookies to watch, along with who I'm putting my money on, to win rookie of the year. Little background on the winners. Don't take very long shots. I know that you might like, you know, Marshawn, Bo Jam, because you're a box fan, or Jake Laravia. But like long shots, they literally never win.
2:18.3	Since 1988, only two players not drafted in the top 10 have won this award.
