Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

SGA appeared in just 35 games and finished last season in March due to a plantar fascia tear. With OKC's season already in the toilet and the team in full-tank mode, it wasn't surprising to see him held out in a precautionary move. The young guard took another leap forward in his third season, averaging career highs in points (23.7), assists (5.9) and threes (2.0) to go with 4.7 boards while shooting high percentages from the field and the charity stripe. He agreed to a five-year max extension in the offseason and is on track to be ready for the start of the season. His status is one to monitor, but he's still locked in as an early-round selection in fantasy drafts.

Fantasy Impact

Gilgeous-Alexander was part of recent trade rumors right around the NBA Draft, but he will continue to lead the current Thunder rebuild. He missed a good chunk of this past season as there was no point in risking further injury in a completely lost season for Oklahoma City, but he will look to bounce back this upcoming season as one of the better young talents in the league.
