Before we came into the 2020-21 season, there were a few major questions surrounding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The first question being was how Shai would operate as the lead option in an offense. In his first two seasons, Gilgeous-Alexander was the third option on the floor in most situations.
The second question related to his position. Gilgeous-Alexander played as a point guard for the Clippers but his usage was low. In his first season for the Thunder, Shai played more like a shooting guard. He was focused on getting his shot first and then thinking about creating for others.
