Game 1 between the Orlando Magic (White) and the Indiana Pacers: Magic (W) won 85-76.

Players who made an impression:

1) Myles Turner (Indiana Pacers, 2015 draft 11th overall pick): Turner had another superb performance with 13 points, 9 boards and 6 blocks.

2) Keith Appling (Orlando Magic): Another solid all-around performance by Appling as he had 17 points, 3 boards, 2 assists and 3 steals.

3) Shane Whittington (Indiana Pacers, Forward): He just hustled and worked out there.  It paid off as he eventually ended up with 16 points and 7 rebounds.

4) Chris Singleton (Orlando Magic, Forward): A former 1st round pick who tried to showcase his all- around game and versatility. Singleton was impressive with 17 points, 6 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks. He filled up the stat sheet.

Game 2 between the Orlando Magic (blue)  and the OKC Thunder: OKC won 73-65.

Players who made an impression:

1) Aaron Gordon (Orlando Magic, Forward): Gordon was dominant again. He has separated himself from the rest. Super numbers with 21 points, 10 boards, 3 dimes and 3 steals.

2) Mario Hezonja (Orlando Magic, Guard): The Croatian sensation teamed up with Gordon once again and had another solid outing with 14 points, 3 boards and 2 assists.

3) Mitch McGary (OKC Thunder, Forward): With KD watching, McGary impressed. He was all over the place. He was very active. He actually showed that he is ready to be a rotation player next season. His number were very impressive as he had 19 points, 3 boards, 2 steals, 2 blocks and he shot 9 out of 12 from the field.

4) Semoj Christon (OKC Thunder, Guard): He had his best performance as he controlled and ran the show well with 12 points, 9 dimes and 3 steals.


Game 3 between the Miami Heat and the Detroit Pistons:  Heat won 78-73.

Players who made an impression:
1) Justise Winslow (Miami Heat, 2015 draft 10th overall pick): Played a lot of point forward today. He showed his ability to attack the basket and get to the line. Yet, he did also show the inconsistency of his jump shot. Anyway, solid numbers still with 17 points, 4 boards and 1 assist.

2) Stanley Johnson (Detroit Pistons, 2015 draft 8th overall pick): Johnson looked good again. I liked how he competed. I also liked his attitude as he rarely complained about anything and just went out there to play hard and compete. Great all- around performance with 14 points, 7 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

3) Spencer Dinwiddie (Detroit Pistons, Guard): He struggled the past two games, but he finally had a good game today. I expected more from him, honestly. Just happy to see that he finally had a good outing with 11 points, 1 board and 4 assists.

4) Willie Reed (Miami Heat, Center): He impressed in summer league last year and he has done that as well this year. He would surely get a chance to make a roster. An imposing, athletic big that any team would like to have. Big man performance with 13 points, 11 boards and 1 assist.
