Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may only have one year of college under his belt academically, but he’s got a doctorate in basketball. His graduation status was made clear this past season, averaging 31.4 points on 51.0% shooting, 34.5% from three and 90.5% at the line while adding 5.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals per contest en route to All-Star and All-NBA honors. He also signed a five-year, $180 million max contract extension back in August 2021 — a deal he’s on pace to outplay by the time he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2027.
