- 'Tis be the season of giving but all we collectively got from Al last night was a Vince Carter-esque sack drag across our chins. How festive.
- Four men had to utilize the Last Man In provision for the evening drawing them the assignment of Indiana's Jalen Smith. It wasn't half bad in a vacuum as he earned 26 PRA in a win over the Warriors.
- Trevor panicked and decided against saving Jimmy Butler for the postseason where he scores 40 points every night. Instead he went with an early December low-scoring game against the Grizzlies and got 32 PRA for it.
- But all of those decisions feel irrelevant given the fact that Al tied the all-time Pick One Challenge record with a whopping 104 RBPRA from Indiana's Andrew Nembhard. The first second round pick taken in 2022-23 deputized for Tyrese Haliburton better than anybody could have expected falling two rebounds shy of a triple-double as he carried his team to victory. I shouldn't have to say that this was also the optimal score but I am to tick that box.
