- As we head towards the meat of the college basketball season, with fewer games and earlier final tip-offs, there is sure to be a heavier reliance on the Last Man In like there was today.
- The trio of Colin, Lou, and Ryan were assigned Brooklyn rookie Kessler Edwards against Golden State. While he only finished with a rookie-boosted 22 PRA, he became the second rookie to be completely picked out for the 2021-22 campaign.
- It wasn't great but it wasn't last place on the night as Trevor's pick, and only non-Net taken, Willy Hernangomez only finished with 21 PRA against the Celtics. As the COVID crises in the NBA have subsided, injury ones are ramping up and New Orleans could be ripe for the picking.
- Matt gave Patty Mills his first selection of the new year and was rewarded with 32 PRA in Brooklyn's defeat to the Warriors.
- But coming as no surprise given the absences of Kevin Durant and James Harden, Al's pick Kyrie Irving took home top score honors in his 2021-22 Pick One debut with 46 PRA.
- In the land of optimality, Jimmy Butler was king on this night. He triple-doubled his way to 61 PRA yet his Heat lost to Toronto in 3OT. The two bench bargains faced off against one another as Reggie Bullock (26 PRA) and the Mavericks defeated Duane Washington Jr. (rookie-boosted 56 PRA) and the Pacers.
