Paul Banchero, record-breaking debut at LeBron James
After the first two games of the opening night, the NBA got into full swing with 12 more matches.
The Detroit Pistons won over the Orlando Magic 113-109, but Paolo Banchero, the first overall pick in the last draft, debuted with 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists: only LeBron James had managed such a feat.
Simone Fontecchio also officially started his adventure with the Utah Jazz but stayed on the court less than a minute.
