00:00All right, let's go to the rookie of the year odds. I want to take a look at those with
00:07you Gilbert here because I think that these are sort of fascinating because you usually
00:11see like a Wemby, a 3-1 or something like that. You don't have anyone. This is sort
00:15of wide open going into the year and Zach Edie is the more polished player, so he is
00:20the favorite. Saar and Risa Ache are both about 7-7.5-1. I'm just not really sure,
00:26you know, how much playing time they're going to get at the beginning of the season. Connect
00:29is there. Reid Shepard, I think he's going to play quite a bit. Do you take a player
00:33with a little bit more pedigree from college coming in, Gilbert? Is that fair or do you
00:37simply think that one of these first two picks could win it? In this year, I think you do
00:42take somebody like Zach Edie. I think Dalton Connect will actually get a little bit of
00:45a Lakers boost, but I'm unsure what type of role he's going to have with that team
00:49to start the season. I think Zach Edie, we know, we saw from him, national player of
00:53the year this past season, led his team to the national championship game. He's going
00:56to really benefit from playing alongside the veterans in Memphis, but if in a year,
01:01it's worth taking a shot on somebody who's a little more of a long shot, like a Buzellas
01:04or a Stephon Castle, it'd be this year because it really does feel like this race is wide
01:08open.
