Los Angeles Clippers

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander might be a rookie, but he’s the most intriguing player on the Los Angeles Clippers roster for me. Because of his size (6-foot-6, with a 6-foot-11 wingspan), coupled with the fact that he plays point guard, I can’t help but get excited about his potential.

So far in pre-season, SGA has looked good. He’s going to have his hiccups as a rookie, but I believe that he’s going to pop on occasion. It’s tough to project exactly what his production is going to look like this season, especially with Doc Rivers controlling his minutes, but you’re going to hear his name even if you don’t want Clippers games.

There’s reason for excitement if you’re a Clippers’ fan. Get to know SGA; he’s going to be a good player for a long time.
