Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ended his rookie season with the Clippers as a second team All Rookie who was drafted 11th by a rebuilding Clippers team and had what many considered a surprising year. In July of 2019, however, his outlook suddenly looked a lot different when he was traded (along with Danilo Gallinari and draft compensation) to the Thunder for Paul George. No longer was he just the young up-and-comer. He was now the guy that got traded for a star. Fair or not, his expectations were increased and coming into the 2019-20 season, and a lot of eyes were trained on SGA in Oklahoma City to see how he fared.
