Whether you watched them play or placed complete (and possibly questionable) trust into what your timeline said, the reactions from #nbatwitter were swift and didn't lack personality. For many viewers, it was their first time watching Banchero, Holmgren, or Smith Jr play-- an everyday reality for those who don't follow high school or college basketball.
But regardless of how you feel about the trio's performances, they provided highlights and a closer look at their potential. Banchero (17/4/6) and Holmgren (23/7/6) produced a pair of memorable games, and Smith Jr proved he could be comfortable doing a bit of everything on the floor.
Below are some of the reactions to the NBA debuts of Paolo Banchero, Chet Holmgren, and Jabari Smith Jr.
