Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the midrange king. đź‘‘
In a league obsessed with threes, SGA is living in the midrange.
And he’s absolutely cooking there.
The inspiration is obvious. Shai has never hidden who he studied growing up:
🏀 Michael Jordan
🏀 Kobe Bryant
🏀 Allen Iverson
Three legends who made a living in the in-between area of the floor.
Career shooting:
🔸 SGA: 50.7% FG / 35.9% from three
🔸Jordan: 49.7% FG / 32.7% from three
🔸Kobe: 44.7% FG / 32.9% from three
🔸Iverson: 42.5% FG / 31.3% from three
In other words, Shai is basically running an old-school scoring style with modern efficiency.
Yeah, he goes to the FT line a lot, but he’s an even bigger threat from midrange.
