Ok WOW.

What a good first game. So far the only guys I think remotely have a chance in the NBA are:

Alessandro "Josh Giddy" Pajola
AJ Lawson
Jerrick Harding
Jaden Hardy
Moses Wright

Pajola- looked incredibly comfortable out there. Great defense, a little wild at times. Loved his ball movement. Didn't really look to score but he played his role
Lawson- Woah. Dude can shoot. I think this kind of performance isn't likely to be replicated though given he only shot 34% on threes in the G-League. But he played solid D, drove to the rim, and hit timely threes. Really liked what I saw.

Harding- Had some flashes of great point guard play. Had a moment where he stripped the ball in the backcourt, dove for it, and came up with an and-1 assist. 

Wright- Had an overall quiet game, but he was the only one that could guard the rim. Had some great blocks and good touch layups. Need to see more from him.

Now onto the main course Hardy- I absolutely LOVED what I saw. The weakest part of his offensive game to me was his ability to finish around the rim and in the first quarter proved my doubts wrong. He was a 3-level scorer. His step back mid ranges were something of beauty. Only one game, but its obvious this kid has some serious talent. 

I'm also glad he kind of faltered down the stretch. I think that will make him even more motivated to work on his game and keep him humble.
