00:00If we're looking at other markets, you know,

00:01Inspector Webenyama, Defensive Player of the Year,

00:03minus 2,400, no real arguments here,

00:05but we do have a good case here, Coach.

00:07NBA Rookie of the Year.

00:09Castles only a plus 120 price here

00:11at the FanDuel Sportsbook,

00:12where Recess J and Wells right behind them.

00:14Have we made up our minds on Rookie of the Year?

00:16Because by the way, these odds look at,

00:18hey, there's a lot to be determined

00:20over the final stretch run here in the NBA.

00:22No, there really is, and it's really about

00:24when you look at Stephon Castle,

00:25how are they gonna use him, right?

00:29Are they gonna give him big minutes,

00:30or are they gonna troll out 94-year-old Chris Ball

00:33and play him too many minutes,

00:35which could hurt his development?

00:36So to me, that's what you have to look at.

00:38Ware's been coming on strong.

00:40I like that four-five combination with Bam,

00:43but then you look at a guy like Rich Deshaies,

00:44now with the fact of De'Andre Hunter move

00:47and Jalen Johnson out,

00:48there's more opportunity for minutes for this young kid.

00:51So I wouldn't be mind if Rich Deshaies makes one final,

00:54maybe push the last 20 or so games,

00:57but to me, it's more about how the Spurs use Castle.

01:00If they let him play and play a ton,

01:03then he should be the rookie of the year.

01:06But in this market, more than anyone,

01:08that, and I would say the most improved player

01:11are the ones that are gonna be the most fluid

01:13the rest of the way.
