So we both went ROI, Dubsy, you're talking a lot of windy city basketball in these next
00:11
couple of picks.
00:12
Shout out, Chartown, let's take it to the city of Chicago, Bezelis is my guy, G League
00:19
standout coming in for the Bulls here, putting up fantastic numbers, 6'10", the big Lithuanian
00:26
American, and he's already got that experience at the pro ranks, so I don't think there's
00:29
going to be a learning curve per se out the gates here, and I really do think he's going
00:34
to have an impact on the Bulls side, which really doesn't have a lot of expectations
00:38
coming in for a new season, Bezelis is durable, he can do it both ways there, 9'3", 1.8 assists
00:46
last season, so very efficient, brings a bit of size there for the Bulls and can certainly
00:51
get it done in the paint.
00:52
So Bezelis still sitting there at 10-1, plus 1,000 will be my Rookie of the Year play,
00:58
but Ben, I've got an inkling you're going with one of my other top choices there, so
01:03
give us the sell, where do you go for Rookie of the Year?
01:06
The guy, Zach Edie, now is plus 290 to win Rookie of the Year, the incredibly short favorite,
01:12
the guy that I was told would not be able to translate his skill level to the NBA, the
01:17
guy that was the first since Ralph Sampson in the early 80s to win back-to-back national
01:23
player of the year awards, well it looks like he knows a thing or two about basketball,
01:27
he is going to be a huge piece for this Memphis team, huge in more ways than one, literal
01:33
and figurative, 3 of 5 games in the preseason, Dubsey for the Grizz, scoring in double figures,
01:39
including a week ago against the Pacers, showing exactly what he can do, 23 points and 9 boards,
01:46
a lot was made of this NBA draft class this past summer, not overly illustrious, not star
01:51
studded, who would emerge, would it be the two Frenchmen, Alex Sauer or Zachary Rezache,
01:57
the number one overall pick for Atlanta, nah, it's a college basketball star in Zach Edie,
02:03
plus 290 to win Rookie of the Year.
