Episode 2234
We return to discuss the latest NBA Rookie Ladder. Kon Knueppel remains firmly at the number two spot, trailing only Cooper Flagg. We compare the impact of empty stats versus winning plays, noting Knueppel’s role in the recent overtime victory against Cleveland compared to Flagg's big scoring night in a loss. The guys also look at the numbers, stacking Knueppel’s rookie campaign up against LaMelo Ball’s Rookie of the Year season.
Speaking of holidays, the Charlotte Hornets remain the only NBA franchise to never play on Christmas Day. Is Knueppel the star power needed to finally get Charlotte on the festive slate, or does the team need a playoff series win first? We debate the merit of the NBA Cup after the New York Knicks reportedly refused to hang a banner for their championship. Finally, we answer a listener question about the 1997 Hornets comparison following a rare overtime shutout and provide a promising injury update on LaMelo Ball’s potential return to the court.
