NBA ROLE: ALL-WORLD SUPERSTAR

 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: 6'5, superstar guard by way of Toronto; high IQ PG: uses length* to a supreme advantage (6’11 wingspan), gets to where he needs to go on the floor; somewhat methodical, though SGA benefits from long strides, improvises w/ combo dribbles & quick bursts while penetrating; drive & kick star - gets to the rim in only a few dribbles (doesn’t waste motion as a ball-handler), hits bigs & shooters at opportune moments; plays at an even-keeled pace, loves to make plays on his own time - won’t rush the action: masterful at getting to his sweet spots - uses slight shoulder bumps to ward off defenders and create space; has done well to add strength, aids better finishing efforts at the rim; great scorer in between the lines: SGA’s a toughhh scorer off the dribble w/ a go-to midrange & float game; controlled finisher around the basket, can shift body around defenders for scores; has developed confidence shooting on the move (solid, signature step back triple) but still needs to work on a faster release, key in on spot ups; decent defender, Shai possesses the size & lateral quickness to harass guards; DIFFERENT BREED: league’s leading scorer, 2025 NBA MVP & NBA CHAMP! - SGA’s a true legend in the making
