The Utah Jazz may have opened their season with a loss in Detroit last night, but there were still several bright spots.
And one of the biggest was the play of Raul Neto.
A 6-foot-1 point guard from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Neto is in his first season in the NBA after spending four years playing in Spain. The 23-year-old has been praised for his floor vision, passing and pesky defense, though he also brought with him a reputation of being a subpar shooter.
It was ironic, then, that in his first regular season NBA game, Neto went 2-for-2 from 3-point range—while the rest of his team went 0-for-9.
