Game 3 between the Orlando Magic Blue and the LA Clippers: Orlando won 75-74
Players who made an impression:
1) Aaron Gordon (Orlando Magic, Forward): Gordon dominated with 22 points and 18 boards. He just looked much improved and more comfortable than how he did last year. Athletic ability is superb.
2) Mario Hezonja (Orlando Magic, 2015 draft 5th overall pick): They said he had swag. It was on display throughout. Kid knew that he could play and he was not at all shy in showing it. Well, he just smoothly dropped the game winning three in overtime.
3) Branden Dawson (LAC, 2015 draft 56th overall pick): People were quite hesitant to compare him to another Spartan, Draymond Green. But, I have always seen him as Draymond- like. Great debut with a solid double double of 14 points and 14 boards.
Game 4 between the Charlotte Hornets and the OKC Thunder: OKC won 76-74
Players who made an impression:
1) Frank Kaminsky (Charlotte Hornets, 2015 draft 9th overall pick): Frank the Tank is officially in the NBA. He dropped 19 points and grabbed 12 boards. He showed that he could compete with these guys. Missed the game- tying shot. But, still had a very solid debut.
2) Mitch McGary (OKC Thunder, Forward): He had 8 points and 13 boards. I loved how he worked and hustled. Just kept on throwing his body out there.
Game 5 between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Brooklyn Nets: Memphis won 81-73
Players who made an impression:
1) Russ Smith (Memphis Grizzlies, Guard): He controlled the game. He had 8 points and 8 dimes. He shot 3 for 6 from the field and only had 2 turnovers.
2) Rondae Hollis- Jefferson (Brooklyn Nets, 2015 draft 23rd overall pick): He defended like crazy. He shot a decent 4 for 8 from the field and was 1 out of 2 from long distance. He only had 9 points but his defensive impact was evident.
3) Cory Jefferson (Brooklyn Nets, Forward): He did not shoot the ball well (4 out of 11) but still had a solid line of 13 points and 8 boards.
4) Jordan Adams (Memphis Grizzlies, Guard): He has always been a volume shooter/scorer. But, I loved how he attacked the basket and got to the line 10 times and made all of them. He had 20 points all in all
