00:00So those are some interesting numbers on the odds, uh, coach for the rookie of the year.

00:08Uh, there's a couple of guys down at the bottom of that board at 20 to one that, uh, it, they,

00:14it seems like some value there with, uh, Dillingham and playing in here to, uh, to pull down this

00:19award mostly because they're probably going to get a lot of action this year.

00:22Well, obviously with Portland, they're going to try and move Robert Williams who just can't

00:27stay healthy.

00:28And Deandre who has never been nominating, uh, the nomination, even though he's talked

00:33about it at will, uh, but to me, you know, Zach Edie was the guy I looked at.

00:39Right.

00:40And I think he was 20 to one after the draft.

00:42He, he got his price sliced in half in a day reason being, listen, he's shown he can play

00:49big minutes in the NCAA tournament, right.

00:51In the final four, the guy basically never came off the floor.

00:54If you look at it, if Zach Edie gets 24 minutes a night, he's going to get you eight, nine

01:00rebounds.

01:01And he's probably going to get you 13, 14 points because you have the shooter in Desmond

01:05Bain.

01:06You have John driving a basket.

01:07Uh, you have to have Jared Jackson Jr.

01:09Shut you in the floor.

01:10So to me, he's in that dunk spot.

01:12I just think in the NBA, it's seven foot four guys.

01:16Are you going to double team him or are you going to play him straight up?

01:18So to me, I look at Zach Edie as being someone I look at now.

01:23You brought up someone very interesting at 20 to one, and that's Rob Dillingham.

01:29Simply put, he could be the best pure score in the draft.

01:36And I'm going to lump in Rob and with Minnesota.

01:40What they did getting Rob and Terrence Shannon Jr. was absolute gold.

01:48Those two are electric.

01:50They're great in transition.

01:52They're great defensively.

01:53And now a team that has a starting lineup of Conley, Ant, McDaniels, Towns, Gobert,

02:00and it plays slow, can flip it completely with the second group and go Dillingham, Shannon

02:07Jr., Slo Mo Anderson, who can play a point forward, and then Nas Reed.

02:12I thought that's absolutely fantastic.

02:14And think about the end of the game that a team like Minnesota could go with Shannon

02:20Jr., Ant, and Dillingham in a three-guard lineup down the stretch of games if you want

02:26to score.

02:27That's a problem for teams.

02:29Rob Dillingham is going to score.

02:31He's got a little bit of that Lou Williams, Jamal Crawford, go get a bucket at will.

02:35And there's not a lot of guys in this draft, guys, that are going to score in double figures.

02:41Rob Dillingham can make a case for winning Rookie of the Year coming off the bench.
