- The NBA Pick One is back for season two with the Opening Night contests between the Bucks and Nets as well as the Lakers and Warriors. Each of the four teams playing had representation among our six participants.
- The only player to be selected by more than one person was the Los Angeles rep, Carmelo Anthony. One of two players from last season to be playing for a new team in 2021-22, Melo put up a respectable opening night showing of 15 PRA for Al and Lou.
- Speaking of old faces in new places, that is where our top score for the evening came from. Long time Spur Patty Mills is now a member of the Brooklyn Nets and even though they got their doors blown off by the Bucks, Ryan was able to rack up 25 PRA from the Aussie off the bench.
- It would have taken some brass balls for somebody to use Giannis Antetokounmpo on Opening Night, but he would have been the optimal pick with 53 PRA. However, you could have found a Bench Bargain in Golden State's Nemanja Bjelica who earned 30 PRA in victory.
