Most underrated player in basketball. This isn't even a debate just watch the video

SGA, Giddey and Chet. Gonna be a fun decade.

Careful with these appreciation threads as you might jinx it.

Giddey & Chet is shaping up to be a dynamic duo, with SGA ending up as a 3rd wheel. :tooth

I think people know that SGA is damn good. I'm not so sure on Giddey and Chet yet, we shall see.

Skilled player but a bit too much of a ball hog at the moment.

Hopefully he appreciates having some decent players around him going forward.

will always feel miffed the clips had to give him up in the trade to get paul george.

if they had managed their assets just a bit better, i feel like they could've kept him and he would have been a near perfect fit for kawhi and pg.

It would he nice to see him play a season without OKC shutting everyone down for their blatant tank. Hard to appreciate anyone on that team properly

Yup

We need to build some chemistry moving forward so I'm hoping OKC will just let the chips fall where they do and play everyone, but the reality is the Thunder are likely not one of the top 10 teams in the west so Presti is going to milk injuries, sign G-leaguers, and tank for 1 more year if we aren't in contention after 40~ games

When I first read the topic title, I immediately thought it must be created by OKCfanSinceSGA.

I admit I was wrong.

Who's he supposed to pass to? Dort? Maledon?
Dude has ZERO shooters around him.
The fact that he still averages 6apg is impressive.

Saw the title and thought SGA had been traded for lots of picks

I thought worse since it was the general board. I was like oh no we lost a great talent.

SGA is my go to player to talk about when I want to find out if someone really knows about current NBA basketball. The second I hear them pronounce his name as "Shy," I know what kind of fan I'm talking to.

Never has there been a guy that's on one of the worst teams get so much love. If this were any other player they'd be calling him a statpadder, like Devin Booker was called all those years. Wake me up when SGA wins something.
