Welcome back to Far-Fetched Friday, where every Friday we give you a bold prediction that we believe will come to fruition. This Far-Fetched Friday concerns arguably the most pleasantly surprising team of the season so far and their break out star.
SGA already turned some heads during the regular season with his play, dropping a stat line of 19.3 PPG, 6.1 RPG, and 3.3 APG on solid shooting percentages. Being on a small market team like the Thunder, however, Gilgeous-Alexander hasn't really had the opportunity to be in the NBA spotlight. That will change come playoff time, where the stakes are at their highest. Having a veteran point guard like Chris Paul to help keep him focused will be huge, and should the standings hold to form and the Thunder go up against the Utah Jazz, Shai will be able to have a field day against the likes of Donovan Mitchell.
