I’m not sure if he did or not compared to his rookie season with the LA Clippers.
With both Chris Paul and Dennis Schroder on last year’s team it was hard to gauge if SGA is the point guard Sam Presti can build this team around.
When play resumed in the bubble it seemed to me Shai never really got going with any consistency. To me, it will be interesting to see where his game goes this season given there possibly won’t be much of any bona fide veteran finishers on the team for him to dish the ball to.
Neither Dort, Bazely, or Diallo have been in this role before either. We’ll just have to see what’s left standing of this roster on December 9th.
So he’ll go from last year where there were other primary ball handlers and finishers to this team of virtual depletion. I hope he gets as much help from his teammates as Cade has gotten so far from his team at O State at the Power 5 level of play.
Sam Presti made a point of talking about this in his presser, but where do the assists come from on a consistent basis. I wonder if Rondel Walker could moonlight some games for the Thunder… don’t laugh.
I’m getting ahead of myself until we specifically see what the roster looks like after the next tier of transactions.
But I will say this for the sake of hoops in Oklahoma this season…Cade and Rondel wear the masks and space with great care. We need something to watch hoops wise through the rough winter months ahead.
We need you guys to keep our atttention diverted from Sam Presti’s ‘transition’.
