The new-look Golden State Warriors entered the Moda Center and fell to a rebuilding Portland Trail Blazers squad on Wednesday night. The 139-104 demolition may have been more about the Warriors’ improved wing depth than it was a reflection of Portland’s ability or lack thereof.

Here are our takeaways from the big moment:

Generally, this award is given to players from clubs with winning percentages above .500, so this award is likely not in the cards for Portland’s second-year rookie point guard. But there’s no question that he felt quite comfortable playing off the bench for the Trail Blazers on Wednesday night (even before fourth-quarter garbage time, stat-sheet minutes), as an energy-shifting scorer. The 6-foot-1 G League Ignite alum scored 22 points on 7-of-18 shooting from the field (0-of-5 from long range) and 8-of-9 shooting from the foul line, while also dishing out four points. dimes and grabbed four rebounds. His defense once again became his downfall. He posted a game-worst -30 plus-minus during his 27:54 action time.

Somewhat surprisingly, head coach Chauncey Billups opted to bring second-year small forward Toumani Camara to his starting lineup on Wednesday night, while starting shooting guard Shaedon Sharpe was still ill. Deni Avdija, ostensibly the club’s starting three when everyone is healthy, was officially listed as the club’s starting shooting guard, but Billups was open to cross-matching players defensively, with the taller, more athletic Camara being explored as a possible Stephen Curry stopper. During Camara’s 29:53 of game action, he scored 11 points on 3-of-8 shooting from the field (2-of-4 from beyond the arc) and 3-of-4 from the charity stripe, while also knocking down six points. rebounds, passed for four assists and picked up two steals.

Newcomer Avdija showed off his surprising acumen as a passer in his regular-season debut for the Trail Blazers. The 6-foot-2 vet scored 15 points and got to the line seemingly at will, converting 7 of 8 free throw looks while shooting 4 of 10 from the floor. He also pulled down seven boards, passed for two assists, blocked two shots and stole the ball twice.

All told, six Trail Blazers scored in double figures, but those numbers were buoyed in a meaningless fourth quarter that began with the game already spiraling out of control as Golden State led 99-72 at the start of the set.
