Bryce McGowens · Bryce McGowens may have missed his only shot attempt in his first NBA game, but he made up for it with defense. Squaring off against the San Antonio Spurs in the first game of the season, the 40th overall pick thwarts a Spurs drive to the basket with a block and change of possession for his new squad. The first four minutes of McGowens’ NBA career were a successful first impression, as his first career block made an impact as the Charlotte Hornets won all four quarters in the runaway 129-102 victory on October 19, 2022. · State of Mint · State of Mint
