Whats most impressive about this dude is that he averages 30 but he does it giving you 25-35 damn near every night. Other guys can get there by making up for off nights with crazy 50-60pt games. SGA doesnt shoot enough 3s to do that so its 30 a night off drives and middys. He never gonna get on sportscenter top 10 but I appreciate the work. And 2.8 steals a game while averaging 30 is some other shit.

@@deshawnman3790he is nowhere near Jordan. Jordan was averaging 33, 35, 37, 32 in back to back years and Jordan’s game, moves, footwork, post game, lay up package and shooting was were light years ahead of SGA. Only people I’d put close to someone that was close to Jordan’s actual skillset are Kyrie or Kobe and they not even that close. Plus this defense is way weaker and the rules benefit the offense now lol.

@@dominiquewilson ur right. But scoring this many points at that efficiency for a guard taking mostly perimeter shots is abnormal. Only other player in history doing that you can compare to is jordan. Obviously jordan did it at a higher level. Kobe was never efficient so I wouldn’t mention him.

I haven’t heard anyone say that his style of play will let his body last a lot longer than the style of a Ja Morant. Which means he will be playing at a high level much longer than players who almost solely rely on their athleticism. He scores effortlessly & he does it without being super explosive. No matter who the person is it alway catches up and usually it’s a mix of injurys between the knees & back. His game is very skilled, crafty, patient, shifty. His game to me looks like a mix of Khawi, Kobe & Penny Hardaway just without all of the athleticism he had.
