4. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was a beast

This guy was on a mission tonight! Shai had his full arsenal working tonight, especially the mid-range game. Gilgeous-Alexander has a little bit of an “old man’s game”: he doesn’t play flashy and he doesn’t look to shoot the fadeaway 3-pointers. He loves the mid-range jumper, from 12-15 feet.

SGA so effective getting into the paint and finishing with his left hand too. His somewhat unconventional style is proving tough for opponents to guard. Tonight shows that while Knox is a potential lottery pick for sure, Gilgeous-Alexander is becoming the next highest pick. He guards, handles the ball, scores with versatility, and rebounds. Gilgeous-Alexander is an NBA player.
