Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Winning Impact
If the numbers above donât prove to you that Gilgeous-Alexander is the better defender and more well-balanced offensive player, then maybe his impact on winning will sell you on this take.
This season, the Thunder had an on-court rating of +16.9 per 100 when Gilgeous-Alexander was on the floor. That’s higher than any on-court rating the Thunder had with either Durant or Westbrook. It’s actually higher than any on-court rating either has had in his career. Gilgeous-Alexanderâs postseason on-court rating (+9.6 per 100) is also higher than any playoff run that Durant/Westbrook completed with the Thunder (not counting seasons when one of them got hurt in the middle of the playoffs).Â
