Hi @hanshotfirst! First I’d tag @tangibleay here because he just joined Hive and He has the same perspective with you on this. He is a big Jokic fan and we had this argument recently.
Now to my own view. I wasn’t a fan of SGA before infact I actually didn’t think what he does was too spectacular until I began to think one day and I began to research and I discovered something.
SGA is suprisingly good. He isn’t as energetic as prime Westbrook or flashy like Chris Paul or Trae young or provide assists like Hali, however he scores like crazy. 3 level scorer and what makes him scary is his efficiency. At some point in the league, like what you displayed- I began to think oh he won’t score much the next game, and guess what? He did. Game after game, he shows up.
Considering his size too, he drives to the paint. Yes he is labeled as a free throw merchant, however I think he is smart, he knows how to initiate contact, trick defenders and get the Job done.
Overall I think he is even underrated because if it was booker or Tatum dropping consistently like SGA, they would have put them in all time debates.
I don’t think I’m a big SGA fan, however I respect him a lot more now.
PS: Pacers won at home. Series tied at 3-3
What do you think? Who takes this?
