Looking at some debuts.
#1 Anthony Edwards had a decent debut, scoring 15 points with 4 assists and 4 rebounds in 25 minutes. He came off the bench, and will probably not have a lot of time on the floor as the primary ball-handler with Russell and Rubio soaking up all the PG minutes. He didn't shoot the ball particularly well, going 5/12, but he showed excellent handling and strength getting into the paint. I think it was an encouraging start, but he'll have to fight for a bigger role than most #1 overall picks since Minneosta does have some real creators on offense.
#2 James Wiseman was one of the few bright spots on Golden State during their disastrous first game in Brooklyn. He had 19 points and shot 7-13 from the field, including several deep jumpers and a three. I'd really like to see him finish some lobs and run the pick and roll with Steph, but there wasn't a ton of that in game number one. Defensively he has a long way to go, as almost all rookies do, but a very promising start.
#3 LaMelo Ball had a rough debut, playing only 16 minutes and scoring 0 points, missing all five of his shots. People are really split on him; I personally am pretty low on him, but some people are really impressed by his passing vision and rebounding. He had three assists and three turnovers in his limited minutes. As the #3 overall pick, he deserves a chance to play, but in Charlotte, easily their three best players are primary ball-handlers in Graham, Hayward and Rozier, so I don't think he is going to get the keys to the car right away, like some people figured. Turning the ball over and being inefficient is not going to earn him more minutes.
#4 Patrick Williams probably benefitted from Chicago getting blown out early by Atlanta, getting to play 33 minutes. He made the most of them, scoring 16 points and looked athletic and made some really quick decisions when he got the ball. Chicago's entire defense was a mess against Atlanta, but a promising start.
