Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has had a special rookie season. While his production has been inconsistent, his maturity, skill-level, and overall impact are far beyond his years. Shai has been rewarded for his stellar play with a berth in the 2019 Rising Stars Game, which will take place Friday, February 15th at 6:00 PM Pacific Time.
Born in Ontario, Canada, Shai is on Team World, which will compete against USA in the contest. Each team has 10 players in their rookie or sophomore seasons, creating a pool of 20 young stars who will hopefully make major impacts in the NBA in the years to come.
