It was a tough day for way too many players. Call it opening day jitters or call it what you want but we have not seen a day previously with so many players at either "zero efficiency" or worse yet, a "minus efficiency." 

Players who played at least 20 minutes and had a "zero efficiency": Khyri Thomas (Detroit), Tim Quarterman (Milwaukee), TJ Leaf (Indiana), Jalen Brunson (Dallas), Dorian Finney-Smith (Dallas), Carick Felix (Washington), and Jacob Evans (Golden State). 

Players that were in the dreaded "minus efficiency" category: DeAnthony Melton (Houston), Rodney Purvis (Orlando), Malcolm Miller (Toronto), Malachi Richardson (Toronto), and John Holland (Cleveland).
