- The backup-guard check-in order changed in the finale. Meleek Thomas had been the 8th or 9th man earlier, but this time Craig Porter Jr. was 8th, Tyrese Proctor 9th, and Thomas 10th ("I believe"). Thomas still played in the first half. at 26:06
- Host opinion: Tyrese Proctor didn't have much impact in the finale. He shot 2 of 5, including a breakaway layup, and missed his only three; some of his minutes came with the starters. at 27:43

- The host's current read: Porter is the 10th man, which he says is effectively settled because of Porter's versatility, and Meleek Thomas is beating Proctor for the ninth spot. at 15:03
