SGA’s game reminds of Brandon Roy in regards of poise and patience. He’s never in a rush and gets to his spots on the basketball court anytime he wants. Just very skillful.

If Chet can, then this team can make deep playoff runs and in a couple of years, OKC can be possibly be in title contention, where the team is fully built around Chet & SGA, but we’ll see.

If Chet is the unicorn then this mf decade of OKC ball is going to only get more fun. Plus all the picks and we still don’t even respect their most recent guy like we should in Cason Wallace.

@@808bboarder The thing is the picks have to start paying off at some point. If there’s a player out there that can help the team take that next step, then Sam Presti and company have to pull the trigger, where even though it’s a risk, they still do the trade because they know that player is gonna take them into contention. So for example, if your Presti, take your shot in going after Giannis.

If you look at his similarity score he is analytically the most similar to Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant Brandon Roy So you’re actually spot on lol.

bro got one of the deepest bags in the game. has a counter for everything and can get his shot off with incredible footwork/pacing/ and patience. Shai isnt even an explosive athlete it feels like he beats defenders with his mind sometimes shit is wild

Yup. Deep bag and can weaponize pace plus has tight handles, good metrics, plays defense. His footwork is ridiculous. Dude is a Star

thank you for this upload. God bless you

SGA is trying to get the defender to open up. Once he gets a shoulder into the defenders' chest/hip, he steps back or stops on a dime 90% of the time. This is usually around the freethrow line/ mid range. Defenders have to play him straight up and not allow him to do his spin move, as he often does in this scenario. The better defenders like Marcus Smart, KCP, etc try to play him straight up because of the scouting report. Slower defenders know to play him striaght up except they're too far, he's pulling up for the 3 easy jumper. In the clutch though, this is the other 10%. he's turning the defenders hips and getting to the rim no matter what, not as many step backs. You can see this against the Wizards and on Jaylon Brown, despite him being there every time in somewhat good position. I think these are the things SGA looks for to get his buckets. His balance, poise, pace and his sneaky off-ball hand+foot work are what makes him successful in almost every scenario. Unguardable.

For such a young player he wants the ball in his hands & the fact he’s not scared of the moment says alot about his mentality 💪🏻 #WalkingBucket

His mid range is lethal. Damn near best mid range i have ever seen next to Kobe and Deebo

So damn tuff man, crafty finishes counters never in a rush sky is the limit can’t wait to see him in the playoffs.

48 mins is crazy

With his size up he’ll always have an answer and counter you have to get the ball out his hands and double it’s the only way

SGA has numerous ways to 3point, middle jumper, drive-in, and passing game. It's almost impossible to defend him without foul. Even SGA's defense game feels like lockdown to opponent.
