The other Euroleague rookie, Vasilije Micic, made his NBA debut against the Cavs. Only played 6 minutes and didn’t stuff the stat sheet, but he did hit his sole field goal.
Another interesting stat: your #6 rookie, Sasha Vezenkov, shot 2/4 from 3. However, 1 brick was a heat check from the logo and the other brick was a buzzer-beater heave from the 50 feet away. So his shooting is translating very well in the NBA.
An interesting fact that other Kings fans pointed out: this was Wemby’s first game without logging a block. While that might look bad in the box score, Wemby’s defensive presence was still obvious in the game, and it’s another example of how the box score doesn’t tell the whole story.
Also it was nice to see Sabonis hit some jumpers. 2/3 from 3 is great accuracy and relatively great volume. I think he also hit a floater over Wemby without much hesitation, and he hit a fadeaway over another defender too.
