He also had 13 assists.

As you see, he continues to shoot from wherever he wants on the floor and makes him Jalen.

This team is only 1 15 basketball contest that's here, but I can't stop watching them.

John Collins also had 32 16.

Jalen, Why do I love the Hawks so much?

So the Hawks are gonna be an interesting team as the season progresses and they go into the off season.

And let me tell you why.

So you have a guy that's gonna be a perennial off star and Trey Young, who started in the All Star Game this year.

You had to lottery picks this year, both continuing to improve on a nightly basis.

You had Collins, who was suspended for 2025 games.

So now all of a sudden, you actually, with with her as well you have, Ah, nice young core.

But you said something that's really important would probably have one of the They have the worst record in the entire NBA.

There's there are teams with worse records, but they're in the bottom four.

Okay, so they're they're amongst the worst teams in the league.

So now you have to ask yourself to develop these really good and talented young players.

Do we have to change the coach?

And that's really what they're gonna have to decide this offseason.

Because all of these players that you're watching perform right now, guess where they're gonna be next year on the team.

You will be on the team so that that that right there is gonna be a big time decision for management.

Are they going to bring back their coach?

Because you have so many guys that contributed to a horrible season but yet shown so much potential throughout the process?

It's It's a It's a unique position to be in.

But Trey Young's a star like he's a he's a bona fide star, and I remember he came on, get up and people was questioning his size.

I'm like the game isn't as physical.

You don't have.

You don't have physical intimidation in the game.

It did.

He has unlimited range.

They play downtown.

Jacoby, he shooting from out Perretta.

He should from the logo and get me 10 plus assists He's not just a jack or or Gunnar.

He's efficient, any getting me dimes.

So I like their young core.

But it's gonna be interesting to see if they feel like they've got to make a coaching change toe actually take each person to the next step.

Well, I also think that they want to see what Capello looks like when he gets back healthy, and I don't see how he fits in with this team and whether or not he can get them s'more wins because of all the teams in the league.

They're like one of my top five league past teams.

But there, the bottom five in actual winds, it was good to see him get a win.

And also any time you get 48 13 assists, Neil, that's a bona fide star doing it well, A young team that's actually winning games.

It is also in my top five league past teams.

John Marais in the Grizzlies don't look now, but John Moran the Grizzlies are 5 15 and five in their last 20 games and Moran had a triple double yesterday when they beat the Wizards in D.

C.

Jalen Rose is this a playoff team.

I believe so in so there.

So many times when you grew up loving the game, like for me, it seemed like I fell in love with players that I had no attributes alike.

So I was like, I love Dr J But I can't jump from the free throw line like, Why am I like?

I like I don't have those attributes.

I love Magic Johnson.

I'm not.

I'm not jumping center as a rookie and winning the championship.

You know, I was a tall point guard, and the reason why I bring this up is for me.

John Moran is the ideal player.

If you want a model your game after that, somebody should try to do so.

Because if you notice when you show Dame Lillard you showed him shooting from 40 feet, we show Trey Young.

You showed him shooting from deep.

You see what John doing?

You see?

What are you doing right?

He's in the defense.

The three point line he's getting underneath the free throw line is actually making play for himself or making plays for his teammates.

It's under control at all times.

He he got it on the Street with the right.

He got it on a string with the left.

It seems like you can't speed him up.

He always makes the right decision.

He's a smart basketball player.

He's one of those guys that I was like a high school coach or college coat.

That's the prototypical guide to me that young players should try to model the game after.

So, Jalen, you know, here on gender Jacoby, we like to be, like to be ahead of the curve, you know?

I mean, we like to be taste makers, and there's someone who needs to be celebrated that is not being celebrated by anybody in the national media.

And that is Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins.

Taylor Checkers has taken this team who no one thought was gonna be in the playoffs, and they've won 15 of their last 20 there in the playoff hunt.

They're developing their young players really well.

I just want to give a big salute to my guy, Taylor Jenkins.

I see you tailored jackets.

I know no one's talking about you, but you are a legitimate coach of the year candidate.

Do you think Jenkins has a chance to be coach of the year.

No, he's not gonna be coaching a year with tea, but he is doing an amazing job.

And I'm glad you went there because if I was hiring and firing for a national media job, I'll give you a task that I want you to do.

When this show is, you don't walk down the hall.

All of these people to get paid to talk about sports and ask them to tell you who's Memphis coach?

You know what I love about Taylor Jenkins?

Tell Jenkins did not play college basketball.

I saw he was the Onley coach in the n B A.

That didn't play college basketball.

And you know, I love that I didn't like college basketball.

You to tailor your big shot to you.

Taylor Jenkins.

I see your brother.
