On today’s episode of Harrison Talks Pod (Episode 58), we break down two NBA games that perfectly explain the Rookie of the Year race between Kon Knueppel and Cooper Flagg.

One rookie scored 51 points… and lost.

Another scored 20… and won by 21.

In this episode, we dive into:

Hornets vs Pacers: How Charlotte’s system creates elite offense

Mavericks vs Magic: Why Flagg’s 51-point game still wasn’t enough

The difference between shot creation vs shot making

Full breakdown of the ROY straw poll (80 vs 20 votes)

Why Kon Knueppel is leading—and why Cooper Flagg still has a strong case

The bigger question behind the award: What should we actually value?
