3 NBA Players Who Had Great Season Debuts

On Oct 21, 2022

The NBA is back with a bang, after two great nights of games on Tuesday and Wednesday.

After one night there were plenty of surprising performances and results.

Both conferences seem to have teams capable of winning the championship.

But, the defending champion Golden State Warriors seem to have reloaded their roster.

Without further ado, here are three players who had great season debuts.

1. Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors

Speaking of the defending champions, the reigning Finals MVP was once again great on opening night.

Facing the Los Angeles Lakers, Stephen Curry dominated scoring 33 points with seven assists and six rebounds.

This was the fourth ring night of Curry’s career and the Warriors have everything necessary to repeat as champs.

If they stay healthy, expect to see Golden State once playing in June.

The NBA debut of the first overall pick was impressive.

Paolo Banchero may have surprised some by being picked first but he showed why on Wednesday night.

Facing the Detroit Pistons, Banchero scored 27 points with nine rebounds and five assists.

This was the type of debut you rarely see from a rookie.

Banchero was the first rookie since LeBron James with 25/5/5 in his debut.

Orlando has been bad for so long but the future looks bright with Banchero.

No one expects much from the Sacramento Kings this year.

But, they do have an exciting point guard in De’Aaron Fox.

The former first-round pick was awesome in his season debut.

He scored 33 points with seven rebounds and seven assists, including 5-9 from three.

Fox is the best player on the Kings and he has a chance to have his best statistical season yet.
