Already elected to the All-NBA First Team last campaign, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander confirmed that he is part of the cream of the crop at the 2023 World Cup.
Propelled leader of Canada, the leader/back of the Thunder showed his technique and his talent to finish the competition with 24.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists on average, at 54.4% shooting success!
Enough to allow him to logically join the best five of the tournament, alongside Dennis Schröder (Germany), Bogdan Bogdanovic (Serbia), Anthony Edwards (United States) and Luka Doncic (Slovenia).
Exceeding 30 points in three of his team’s last four games (Spain, Slovenia and the United States), SGA has also often shown himself to be “clutch”, taking things in hand in important moments, by scoring baskets that did a lot of good to Canada… and a lot of harm to adversaries.
In the end, only Serbia, in the semi-final, managed to limit its impact on the field…
