DEBUT116(OKC)-89(LAC)
Karl Cristobal is a role player for the OKC Thunders, and was allowed to play in 19 minutes. That 19 minutes he was inside the game, he showed some moves, and he scored 10 points but he had no consistency and only had 28.6% field goals. It's pretty bad if they're losing, but good thing they were not. He was also dishing passes and 11. Yes, a double-double in his debut, many were amazed, and didn't expect this. Maybe he has good vision for a playy, or his teammates are really just good. Anyways, overall in his debut, he made a pretty good game, and helped the team.
The rookie of the Clippers, Blake Griffin, only scored 9 points but got 13 rebounds. He had a hard time shooting and posting up and only made 4 shots out of 15 attempts.
Player Of The game is Kevin Durant who scored 31 points, and got 15 rebounds, and dished 5 assists
REPORTER: "This is your first NBA game, you didn't get pick in lottery but you showed us that you can play basketball. You also have a double-double in your debut, it's really unexpected for a 26pick. How does it feel?"
KC10: "I do what I know I can do, passing the ball is what where I am best at. I may not be the shooter-type of player but I can do hard lay-ups, though I'm not consistent. And PICK doesn't matter, we all know that some player who got drafter lower than me is better than Kwame Brown, no offense here, but pick really doesn't matter, it's skills and what you can do to help your team. Thank you."
