Oklahoma City’s superstar has been a model of consistency on the court.
has been a model of consistency for a young Thunder team. Headed into the first season with title expectations, his presence and abilities are more important than ever.
Over the course of the rebuild, Thunder fans have watched Gilgeous-Alexander go from a young prospect, to a fringe All-Star candidate, and blossom into an MVP contender. It’s clear that he’s universally thought of as a Top 5 player in the NBA. His scoring output has gone toe-to-toe with some of the league’s very best bucket getters, and it’s evident in his points per game average.
SGA has back-to-back seasons averaging over 30 points per game, and each season was ultra efficient. With the impressive points total, there had to be a few outliers where Gilgeous-Alexander took over and scored more than 50 points, right? At least 45 points, right? The most shocking part of Gilgeous-Alexander’s scoring totals is that his consistency shines through. Most nights, it’s no more and no less than 30 points — right on his average.
Oklahoma City also has its most talented roster since the 2015-16 season, and arguable the deepest roster in the franchise's history. There's plenty of players to take shots and lots of points to go around. Gilgeous-Alexander could continue being a model of consistency and hovering around that 30-point mark night in and night out.Ross is a 2023 Oklahoma University graduate who has formerly written for the OU Daily and Prep Hoops.
