00:00So when I was on the show last Friday,
00:03Connupil was the favorite to win rookie of the year.
00:05And we're in April.
00:06And this has shifted back to Cooper Flagg.
00:09Like, I mean, coach, I mean, this is rare for this to happen
00:12at this stage of the season to get this back and forth with two guys.
00:15And I have a feeling, maybe I'm crazy here.
00:18Forget VJ Edgecombe.
00:19He's not going to win.
00:20He's had a great year.
00:21I have a feeling, coach, that the Hornets and the Mavericks
00:26are going to try and push one of these guys over to the top.
00:28I mean, we're seeing it with Cooper Flagg.
00:31Could we see a 50 or a 60 again coming from these guys down the stretch?
00:35I think it's possible.
00:37I think it's entirely possible.
00:39And if you really think about it, I mean,
00:40I don't even know who else Dallas has left on that roster.
00:42I can score the ball, to be honest with you.
00:45So Cooper is going to show what he can do.
00:48And obviously 51 on Friday, 45 on Sunday.
00:51I mean, just showing why he's such a generational talent.
00:55But obviously the credit's got to go to Connupil.
00:58Connupil is going to get it more of the fact that Charlotte is having a very,
01:04a big time year, right?
01:06They've been probably one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
01:09You may say they may have been the second or third best team in the Eastern Conference
01:13the second half of the year with Detroit obviously playing well in Boston,
01:17getting Jalen Brown.
01:17But they're playing better than the Knicks.
01:19They're playing better than a lot of these teams.
01:20So I think Connupil gets credit for that.
01:23But at the end of the day, I think there's 96 points over the weekend.
01:26I think it'll just shut down what's happening with Cooper Flagler.
01:29It's giving you now 20 points per game, five, you know, seven rebounds,
01:35five and four and a half assists, a steal and a half and nearly a block per game.
01:39That's just fantastic numbers.
01:40He should be rookie of the year.
