SGAs offense looks like he already plays in a style that suits to make life easy for a great center. That he doesnt yet have. ( Enter Kobe comparison here)
You forget something about shai this. In top 5 leading scorer this season , Shai has the lowest usage rate among the top 5 leading scorer this season. Heck he is top 9 in usage rate this season. He is efficient as heck.
I sports bet and if shai is not playing, im not pickick okc. Sga kinda play without too much force, just gliding... backboard shots like he is tim duncan,etc very small effort but effective! Okc franchise player ftw.
Shai will again change his play style once Chet enters the game. And the concern is there already that other players need to catch up in order to make chet the best player. I mean the OKC the best team .
I do not think Shai is boring. This guy does not have the power, but he is a weird but satisfying shooting form (my opinion) with great finesse. This guy is a true dark horse.
Shai plays smoothly and knows how to change his pace but also his movements plus playstyle is unorthodox & decision making is one of the best traits SGA has
Anyone who thinks Shai is boring is only a fan of flashy highlights, not basketball. He's fascinating to watch because he's methodical yet mercurial, you never quite know what he's going to do.
Long overdue video, from Toronto I been watching Shai Gilgeous-Alexander cook for a min . He is one of the best decisions makers in the game today and if he gets paired up with a elite wing or another big guy that be running circles in the nba for years to come
Can't wait once the Thunder get back Chet Holmgren with the development and improving growth of Giddey, Dort, Tre Mann & Jalen Williams, the talent then skill they have already in their cornerstone guys to go along with some very solid depth because of their young bench that's still developing as well we even have yet to see the improvements of Ousmane Dieng to Aleksej Pokusevski. OKC has a deep core to go along with great complementary pieces, SGA is the perfect franchise player to lead this team to the promise land and make them an dynasty in the making for years to come in the near future, they're rising to be one of the next upcoming title contenders

@@marioooletsgoooo you don't know anything if Tre Mann wasn't dealing with personal things in his life right now then he should be improving along with Giddey & JDub but since something drastic happen I think it's affected him mentally and emotionally hope Tre Mann gets off this slump but also gets over on what's he's dealing with off the court
@@marioooletsgoooo You'd still want Tre Mann in your team because of his ceiling and upside even tho he's a 6th man at this point, Tre's role is simular to clarkson basically OKC has their very own poole once he fixes his slump but also keeps track kn his development. Mann is a lot younger plus he's very shifty as well he resembles steph curry's movements to footwork even his handles are elite then you got his playstyle looking similarly to dame lillard the most funny thing is because of Tre Mann's athleticism/vertical everyone gave the nickname or called him trae young with bounce lmao, I'll still believe in his improving growth it's only his sophomore year I bet he's just a late bloomer like clarkson, poole heck even dame or steph took some time to get there.
shai is a masterpiece to watch if you understand basketball, players like him and jokic who play the game perfectly but don’t have flashy highlights are the ones that need more praise
I think Shai's path to further improvement is just getting better from floater range, and to keep working on those passing instincts. As long as he's surrounded by guys who shoot threes, he won't really need to develop that part of his game, though it would be nice for that percentage to go up if he's taking that few
SGA is a top 5 PG in the NBA at this point. There's no dispute really. What he is doing rn on both ends of the court is honestly incredible and the fact he has this OKC roster basically playing 500 basketball is nuts.
@@fortynights1513 Honestly, I have him as the 3rd best PG in basketball but I just said that to be conservative. I think Luka is the best PG, then a healthy Steph is 2nd then it's SGA. I get people will make arguments like Kyrie, Ja and maybe even Harden etc should be above him which is why I said top 5, but imo he's top 3.
@@lordkaiser1404 Right but he's not had that chance yet because he plays in Oklahoma and he still has them basically playing 500. If I remember right, SGA averages 17 in the playoffs and that was when he was a bench rider in LA. Anyone who averages basically 30/5/5 and is 3% from 3 off of a 50/40/90 season is easily a top 5 PG in the league. I don't mean this in a bad way, but anyone who doesn't think SGA is top 15 player in the game doesn't watch enough basketball.
@@FoulTarnished47 i used to watch regular season but with load management and injuries, regular season games aren't what they used to be.. yeah i don't watch enough basketball anymore because i only watch playoffs and finals because those are the games that truly measure historical greatness..
I have zero questions about Shai going into the future, he has been a secondary option on teams all the way back to his Kentucky days. He has adapted to every role he’s been given throughout his career. His lower 3 pt percentage is a result of him being the only true ball handler on his team. He can mesh with almost any potential star the thunder may trade their load of assets for.
Let this superstar make the playoffs atleast. Shai is a great two guard though he needs a true pg to organise the team. Giddey is good for him. Okc and presti are genius team builders
he reminds me of a gilbert arenas type . they score different but they score in there’re own unstoppable way. the foot work and ability to get to they spots
@@sophisticated_savage he’s arguably the 3rd best point guard in the league. If Lebron and AD are considered superstars with their subpar play then Shai is definitely a superstar. Shai is keeping his team around the same level as the lakers without another star level player. Shai is scoring over 31 points a game is which is a higher than most of these superstars* peaks at tremendous efficiency.
This one dude said it best. Shai is absolutely a finesser. Mixed with amazing talent. It’s not the SC highlight reel dunk shit but he has crazy fundamentals. He’s consistent. And he cares so much about the game. He’s gonna be a demon in the coming years.
Correct me if I'm wrong. But I was thinking of a player who he reminds me of. And honestly the only one I can think of Brandon Roy. Roy right now is the better player. But as SGA develops. He can be unstoppable anywhere on the court. And like Brandon Roy, SGA will be impossible to guard, as Kobe said about Roy
I really like Shai. Firstly, I thought he is just becoming a role player just like Lonzo Ball when Shai first come to the league. Now, he is becoming a Superstar. I hope they build around Shai, Giddey, Chet, Lu Dort
@@slender289 statistically kawhi is more efficient than all three in the midrange, by a bit. Carmelo has more moves in the midrange but is overall less effective. Id say Kobe is better despite his lower efficiency, and Derozan is more creative and able to get more difficult shots off, but kawhi is still a better midrange shooter than him and Melo.
Shai's offensive moves are so fun to watch. He glides with ease through the hoops and can also shoot threes even though he doesn't shoot them too much. He also has great court vision and at times he can be a willing passer. All in all, complete player and I'm really hoping he and the rest of OKC can make it to the play in this year and be a regular play off team in the next years.
What I like about Shai's game is that he always takes his time and he is patient. Those guys who know how to read a defense and are crafty tend to be unstoppable scorers.
Shai and Tyrese Haliburton are so similar to me. Just as far as how slept on they are but they are definitely superstars for many years to come. They have all the tools and also the IQ to match, plus the work ethic.
Shai is so smooth even his pump fake looks like a shot that’s what many bought to his pumpfakes . One of his biggest strengths is he always plays at his own pace like luka. The amount of improvement SGA made last season was mad. Hope he continues this
He reminds me of George Gervin because he’s so smooth and so in control and doesn’t look like he is trying but he’s always making the right decisions with the ball and he’s a great file merchant and he’s very great at mid range too 36 % from 3 but I expect that to change over the offseason
Look I appreciate Shai’s game a lot and I love a lot of things about the modern NBA but the fact that he’s averaging the 5th most points at 30+ppg is crazy. I remember freaking out about KD and Carmelo averaging around that much when I was in high school but they were literally 1 and 2 at around 30.
The thing about shai's shooting is he can hit an open 3 that's what we saw with the year he went 40% from deep with cp3, his mechanics are solid the reason why he doesn't take more is because he can't create around the preimiter thus why he's moved his game to be more inside the 3 point line.
IMO, He's a much more efficient version of Dwyane Wade, DeMar DeRozan, or maybe Kobe Bryant, with his underrated defense and his mind-boggling free throw percentage on a massive amount of attempts at the 15th parallel stripe. In today's NBA, it's rare nowadays to see players that don't shoot much from 3 and getting better at it. SGA proves us otherwise that it's still possible.
Hes 6'6 he can be that two way point guard that guards big guards he without a doubt has the highest potential out of all young stars because he can be elite at both sides of the game I hope he becomes an even better defender
Closest comparison I can see to this guy is probably Manu but that's still a long shot. Shai is breaking the mold and becoming one of the very rare superstars that play based on their craft and finesse
If the Thunder get Grady Dick, WATCH OUT. SGA and Giddey driving to Chet, Isaiah Joe or Grady Dick will make this team TERRIFYING for opposing defenses. Shai is awesome and he’s such a fascinating player to watch.
@ Lost Cause What a strange comment. 1) Andy doesn’t even have an accent. 2) Most native East Asians have more difficulty with R/L sounds, not J sounds.
I do think the Highlight culture in basketball has messed up the vision for some players are, I would definitely say players like SGA, Jokic and even Luka are overlooked simply for the pure fact that they can't dunk on someone's head, They are masters of fundamentals
He makin the midrange great again, him and derozan doin the lords work. Im prob in the minority but the amount of 3s that get taken anymore bores the hell out of me when i watch a game.
What makes someone a point guard? Is it about: Height, Usage, Assists, Defensive assignment, Offensive playcalling? Theoretically, Doncic and Jokic are guards, and Giddey is more of the point guard than Shai
I'm glad he improved his shooting form throughout the years unlike Lonzo who took him to get traded for him to change his form. SGA's shooting form before when he was teamed up with CP3 and Schroeder was like Kyle Anderson shooting form but a lil faster but now you have to respect his jump shot.
Just imagine if the Clippers passed on that Paul George trade. They have Shea, who would be the PG they have needed for years, and all of those draft picks that they shipped to OKC.
Shai is the best 2 guard in the league. Don’t get it wrong. He could’ve been the point guard, but we have Giddey, and Shai perfectly runs the role of a 2 guard. Constantly in attack mode, and is also just a great passer. But make mistake, he is our 2 guard.
The Thunder's roster is pretty stacked and, except for their one glaring weakness, are well balanced. They're actually under-achieving right now. Yeah, they don't have a Center, but neither does most teams in the league right now.
How is his game boring? He toys with opponents through crafty footwork, change of pace, and fakes, something that allowed MJ and Kobe to dominate in their 30s. Shai is only boring if you compare him to the flashiest players
lmao i said this and got absolutely railed in the comments. apparently 60 or so games of elite play on a 12th seed is enough to put you as a top 10 player who can be the best player on a championship contender.
Is SGA really that good that he is able to create plenty of open shots for his teammate or the teammates are so bad that every team let them shoot anyway? 🤔

Shai is strong that’s a big reason for his big leap this year even Draymond said last week that he’s strong as an ox now
SGA & Fox are underrated players
Nice clip. Shai is a true talent, my only concern is whether his numbers would translate into winning, I Guess we Will see
Good to know that the mid range game (that MJ and Kawhi Leonard perfected) isn't completely non existent, with this generation.
Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony & Demar Derozan exist btw, these 3 are far better than Kawhi Leonard in the mid range
Kd no competition
@@slender289 statistically kawhi is more efficient than all three in the midrange, by a bit. Carmelo has more moves in the midrange but is overall less effective. Id say Kobe is better despite his lower efficiency, and Derozan is more creative and able to get more difficult shots off, but kawhi is still a better midrange shooter than him and Melo.
Let’s go Andy!! Another great video from you!!
I'm bummed SGA only got like 5 minutes game time in the All-Star game

Shai and Tyrese Haliburton are so similar to me. Just as far as how slept on they are but they are definitely superstars for many years to come. They have all the tools and also the IQ to match, plus the work ethic.
As an OKC fan it makes me sad he gets so little love so thanks for the video
Shai is so smooth even his pump fake looks like a shot that’s what many bought to his pumpfakes . One of his biggest strengths is he always plays at his own pace like luka. The amount of improvement SGA made last season was mad. Hope he continues this
3:16 Girth??? You mean grit? Cos girth has a different meaning, Andy
He reminds me of George Gervin because he’s so smooth and so in control and doesn’t look like he is trying but he’s always making the right decisions with the ball and he’s a great file merchant and he’s very great at mid range too 36 % from 3 but I expect that to change over the offseason
shai is criminally underated.
Look I appreciate Shai’s game a lot and I love a lot of things about the modern NBA but the fact that he’s averaging the 5th most points at 30+ppg is crazy. I remember freaking out about KD and Carmelo averaging around that much when I was in high school but they were literally 1 and 2 at around 30.
He reminds me of shaun livingston pre-injury.
Tyrese H worth watching too!
Had it not been for analytics he would’ve been a major star in the old school 90’s early 00’s system
The thing about shai's shooting is he can hit an open 3 that's what we saw with the year he went 40% from deep with cp3, his mechanics are solid the reason why he doesn't take more is because he can't create around the preimiter thus why he's moved his game to be more inside the 3 point line.
No reason such a great middie shooter couldn't get better from distance.
IMO, He's a much more efficient version of Dwyane Wade, DeMar DeRozan, or maybe Kobe Bryant, with his underrated defense and his mind-boggling free throw percentage on a massive amount of attempts at the 15th parallel stripe.
In today's NBA, it's rare nowadays to see players that don't shoot much from 3 and getting better at it. SGA proves us otherwise that it's still possible.

Hated how Shai cooking the Lakers everytime they meet lol. He's a damn good player.
He's all-around imo...I'm not far from okc...I'm going to see them play definitely
Yay my fav RUclipsr making a vid on my team/best player
Closest comparison I can see to this guy is probably Manu but that's still a long shot. Shai is breaking the mold and becoming one of the very rare superstars that play based on their craft and finesse
All ur vidoes are great and fun look to unnoticed details. Keep it up man
Jokic is probably the NBAs most unique superstar rn, SGA is up there though
I love Shai’s game, cause it’s different.
If the Thunder get Grady Dick, WATCH OUT. SGA and Giddey driving to Chet, Isaiah Joe or Grady Dick will make this team TERRIFYING for opposing defenses. Shai is awesome and he’s such a fascinating player to watch.
Derrick White has averaged a block per game for most of this season also

On paper, they should be better than the Mavs or Clippers. Maybe they need a coaching change?
Shai is under-rated because is not considered flashy as a Ja Morant or Lamelo. He just go out there plays basketball
If he can get better next season and OKC become a Playoff contender he will be in the MVP list

How is his game boring? He toys with opponents through crafty footwork, change of pace, and fakes, something that allowed MJ and Kobe to dominate in their 30s. Shai is only boring if you compare him to the flashiest players
Only if the Hornets didn't trade away Shai on the draft night. We could have him instead of Bridges
Superstar? Cmon now.
lmao i said this and got absolutely railed in the comments. apparently 60 or so games of elite play on a 12th seed is enough to put you as a top 10 player who can be the best player on a championship contender.
Shai & Haliburton 💪
Luka Doncic or Nikola Jokic are easily the most unique Superstars in the NBA.
Craziest thing I learned in this vid is that Lebron is averaging 30 points... god damn
Shai is like your mycareer player when you focus on stats first
He is a solid foundation player. Not super exciting to watch but he is effective.
Shai is a treat to watch
It’s crazy bc he been hooping since he got into the league
Lets talk about DeAaron Fox. Most under-looked player at the time of that list
You say it like he doesnt have a three pointer. His percentage is average, so its not like you can give him the Simmons treatment.
Don’t think Shai really needs to work on his 3pt shot. He’s a good 3pt shooter. It just was way down last year because of the difficulty
He's just jokic, but point guard. He mastered his pg role efficiently.
SGA feels like the new Tim Duncan he’s not particularly flashy but he has good fundamentals
Shai finishes over 70% of his and 1s. He strong
Where are my fellow OKC fans? LETS GO SGA!
Ahhh.. yes!
Ja’s finesse twin
Yea just keep his 3s respectable enough to keep the defense guessing... and ability to play off-ball is probably better
Is SGA really that good that he is able to create plenty of open shots for his teammate or the teammates are so bad that every team let them shoot anyway? 🤔
