Meanwhile, the Rookie of the Year definitely still in play
00:02
some late charge from Miami's wear. I mean this kid has played
00:05
fantastic since he started playing a little bit more when
00:08
Jimmy Butler was out. I know Stephon Castle right now is
00:11
plus 140 to win the Rookie of the Year, but I mean, I don't
00:14
think that this is over by any means, especially with Miami's
00:17
new look lineup. This is a possibility here.
00:20
Absolutely not. This is wide open and I think the Rookie of
00:22
the Year odds are a reflection of the fact that Jared McCain
00:25
who was the favorite before going down with a season-ending
00:28
injury that opened things up for all of these guys and it's
00:31
been a strange year for rookies and it's been a lot of
00:33
fluctuation with who's the favorite who isn't and Kalil
00:36
where being a guy kind of coming out of nowhere. I think
00:38
that's kind of making up for lost time and that new lineup
00:41
that you talked about and how well he's looked next to Bam
00:44
out of Bayou in that front court. Ultimately, I do think
00:46
Stephon Castle is the favorite for good reason. He's having
00:49
a big role with the Spurs and it's fluctuated a little bit
00:52
as well with the addition of De'Aaron Fox, but he's been
00:55
very impactful. We saw what he's capable of during All-Star
00:58
Weekend winning rookie game MVP and also having a chance
01:01
to take the floor alongside some All-Stars of turning heads
01:04
in the dunk contest as well. So the narrative side of it
01:06
in a weird year, I think benefits Stephon Castle.
