Draymond Green recently revealed that Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is his favorite player to watch in the NBA because of his uncanny ability to score. The Golden State Warriors forward also praised Gilgeous-Alexander for turning foul-drawing into an art form.
“My favorite (player) is Shai. Because Shai, he’s just gonna get you a bucket. People complain that he draws fouls, but that’s a skill,” Green said on a recent stream with Kai Cenat.
“There is an art to that. If you’re a dumb defender and you foul, that’s your fault. That’s not a knock on him,” he added.
Gilgeous-Alexander is fresh from a dream season with the Oklahoma City Thunder, as he won the regular season MVP for guiding the team to a 68-14 record, Western Conference Finals MVP, Finals MVP, and the Larry O’Brien trophy.
Oklahoma City Thunder rookie suffer season-ending knee injury
The Oklahoma City Thunder recently announced that rookie Thomas Sorber, whom they selected 15th overall in this summer’s NBA Draft, sustained a torn ACL that will force him to miss his first year.
Despite the brutal setback, the 19-year-old forward remains optimistic. He recently took to his Instagram story to address Oklahoma City Thunder fans, writing “We’ll be back” as the caption.
This is eerily similar to Nikola Topic, who had to sit out his first year due to the same injury. However, the Serbian international is expected to suit up for the Oklahoma City Thunder this upcoming season.
