- After one of the more positive overall showings from our field yesterday, outside of our top scorer these results were less than ideal to put it nicely.
- We'll start ripping off the world's most poorly placed band-aid with the new low bar for our players to go under this season. 3 PRA was the previous low, yet Doug McDermott asked Trevor quite impolitely to hold his beer in San Antonio's loss to the Nuggets. Just one rebound in 14 minutes for a starter who didn't get injured or in foul trouble is its own level of sad.
- Maybe he should have just went with the Last Man In like Colin, Lou, and Matt did and received the 21 PRA that Kevon Looney provided in Golden State's road loss to the Sixers.
- By comparison it makes the 20 PRA that Ryan got from De'Aaron Fox look less awful. The final participant to take a Sacramento player saw his charge go down by nearly 30 points at halftime to Cleveland and the benches emptied forthwith.
- However, the one providing Sacramento their beating was not only our day's top scorer but also the optimal scorer in Cleveland rookie Evan Mobley. A 15/15 double, with a couple of assists sprinkled in, netted Al a rookie-boosted 64 PRA and boosted him within 45 PRA of second place.
- The Bench Bargains were both from Western Conference outfits with Hassan Whiteside double-doubling his way to 32 PRA for the Jazz while Bones Hyland had a rookie-boosted 40 in Denver's aforementioned decimation of the Spurs.
