The Rookies

Both Gilgeous-Alexander and Robinson had good outings yesterday. However, SGA may be required to play even better tonight. Late in yesterday’s game, Robinson went out after injuring his ankle. As of now, it is unclear whether or not he will play tonight.

SGA seems capable of taking on the bigger role as many (including ourselves) are already deeming him the best point guard in this year’s NBA Draft. The birthday boy will have to show it tonight in order to help the team advance to the next game.
