- While there are still some surprise teams in the Association, the haves and have-nots in the league are starting to be sorted out accordingly.
- Two of the teams primed for pillaging in the Pick One are Detroit and Houston. Two of each club's early season standouts were selected on the day and provided their backers 26 PRA. Al got his allotment from Detroit's Bojan Bogdanovic and Lou got his from Houston's Kevin Porter Jr.
- For the second time this season we had three unique rookies selected in the Challenge. Unfortunately for Colin and Matt, the two opposing freshman on this particular night provided the two lowest rookie scores thus far. Houston's Jabari Smith Jr. set the new rookie limbo bar with just 30 RBPRA for Colin while a spot start (and the already-needed new level of Last Man In) netted Matt 34 RBPRA from Portland's Shaedon Sharpe.
- The highest scoring veteran of the evening was Trevor's selection Keldon Johnson. On a day filled with distractions for the organization, Johnson put up 40 PRA as his Spurs bested former teammate DeMar DeRozan and the Bulls.
- But for the fourth time in four selections, Paolo Banchero brought home the top score bacon. He double-doubled for Ryan and fell three assists shy of a triple-double to finish on 80 RBPRA in Orlando's 20 point win over the Hornets. That haul was also the optimal output for the night.
