Definitely a very good debut, capped also by a 90-71 victory over the Texans who did not have a particularly brilliant Jabari Smith Jr, only 10 points with 4/10 from the field.
Among the spectators at the game was his future teammate, Jalen Suggs, who showered the Italian boy with compliments on live TV:
“He definitely has a lot of talent! In attack he can do everything.”
