Merrill had three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), a rebound, three assists and a block across 21 minutes in Friday's loss to Maine.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill has had some very good games for the Charge this season, but this one won't fall into that category. Still, the first overall pick of the 2022 NBA G League Draft has established himself as a reliable scoring weapon for the Charge, and he is still putting up a respectable 16.9 points per game this season while shooting 41.7 percent from three-point range.

Merrill delivered 30 points (11-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals across 40 minutes in Wednesday's win over Greensboro.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill continues to make an impact on offense for the Charge and has been emerging as one of the team's top scoring threats with his impressive run of play in recent games. Merrill is averaging 19.7 points per game through seven regular-season contests.

Merrill delivered 29 points (10-20 FG, 8-15 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, an assist and two steals across 39 minutes in Saturday's win over Windy City.

EDGE Analysis

The first overall pick of the 2022 G League Draft had one of his best performances of the season and played a huge role as the Charge defeated the Bulls. Merrill is averaging 18.0 points per game while shooting an impressive 44 percent from three-point range.

Merrill posted 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt), a rebound, five assists and four steals across 38 minutes in Tuesday's 99-97 win over Westchester.

EDGE Analysis

Sharife Cooper led the way for the Charge with 25 points, but Merrill was the only other player who scored at least 20 points in the win. The first overall pick of the 2022 G League Draft is averaging 14.5 points per game in his first two outings of the regular season, as he posted just nine points in the Jan. 2 win over Westchester.

Merrill delivered 13 points (3-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four steals and an assist across 39 minutes in Tuesday's loss to Windy City.

EDGE Analysis

The first overall pick of the 2022 G League Draft made all of his damage from beyond the arc, and he was mostly playing as a perimeter threat in this game. Merrill was far from efficient, but he hasn't had those issues so far in the league and there's a chance this was nothing but a subpar effort from him. He is shooting 45.2 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from three-point range on the season.

Merrill had 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two assists and a steal across 20 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over the Mad Ants.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill was the first overall pick in the 2022 G League Draft, but he hasn't done too much for the Charge, and his contributions have been scarce. Even though he's started from time to time, Merril has been mainly coming off the bench, but he's been producing enough to believe he might be in line for a more significant role. He's averaging 15.1 points per game while shooting 42 percent from the field, but he needs to improve his long-range shooting since he's connecting on just 37.6 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc.

Merrill recorded 21 points (7-16 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists and a block across 34 minutes in Saturday's loss to Windy City.

EDGE Analysis

The former Utah State standout and first overall pick of the 2022 G League Draft has been one of the Charge's most important players on offense, especially as Sharife Cooper has been struggling in the last few outings. Merrill has had some consistency issues, but he's trending in the right direction and has scored at least 19 points in three of his last four appearances.

Merrill recorded 21 points (6-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, two steals and an assist across 42 minutes in Tuesday's loss against the Mad Ants.

EDGE Analysis

The first overall pick in the 2022 G League Draft has had some up-and-down performances, but this was one of his best games of the current campaign. Merrill has now scored at least 15 points in four of his last six outings, but he's surpassed the 20-point mark just thrice all season long.

Merrill had 22 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, two rebounds and a steal across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 112-103 win over the Herd.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill was an elite scorer at the college level with Utah State and averaged 22.5 points per game with the Hustle during the 2021-22 G League season, so the Charge are expecting big things from him -- hence, why they chose him with the first pick in the 2022 G League Draft. He didn't deliver his best performance in the season opener, but this game goes more in line with what can be expected out of him on a regular basis.

Merrill recorded 12 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and a steal across 33 minutes in Friday's win over Motor City.

EDGE Analysis

Merrill was the first overall pick in the 2022 G League Draft, but he didn't have a good performance in the opener. His efficiency numbers should improve in the coming games, though, but at least he still posted decent figures in other categories, particularly as a passer.
