Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is already turning heads with unexpected skill set

Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander showed unexpected straight-line speed in a training camp drill against teammate Jared McCain. A video surfaced on Tuesday showing Gilgeous-Alexander pulling well ahead of McCain during sideline sprints, highlighting potential improvement in his on-court quickness.

The writer notes that Gilgeous-Alexander ranked 287th in pace of play last season, making this athletic display notable. McCain and Gilgeous-Alexander trained together extensively throughout the offseason, including workout sessions in Canada to build chemistry ahead of McCain's first full season with Oklahoma City.
