Collier, Wagner, and McCain did not play well at all. Still just one game. I really like what Risacher brought to the contest. Nike really missed some World players, so I doubt there are any real surprises with the 18 year olds sneaking in as early entrants (unless you count perhaps London Johnson - if he is even able to break his 2 yr G League Ignite contract).
It's hard to juggle playing time and guys to get in a rhythm. I really appreciated how everyone was serious and how competitive it was. Wagner in particular had a few shots go in and out. Games like that happen. Some of these games can turn into layup lines and dunk contests but this class really gets after it. Collier actually played decent in limited time. Buchanan really surprised me. I didn't know who he was but man, he hits the boards hard, has nice touch around the basket and hustles. Really good size and motor. Nice stroke at the FT line. And he had no problem defending from what I saw.
