I think one underrated aspect of getting Shai involved in off-ball actions is his touch points. Here, he sets the flex screen for Caruso and gets an empty-side post-up, freeing him up with as much room as he needs to work with on the wing.

OKC utilizes this "Gator" action (pass to someone who passes to the roller). Shai does a nice job of using eye deception to hit an open McCain for 3 in the corner. Feels like Shai has been very active tonight as a screener, specifically off-ball.

How many easy catch and shoots is Anthony Edwards going to get on the weak side with the defensive so preoccupied with LaMelo Ball? Think how hard Edwards had to work in past years to get shots.

Well said. Other stand out element is that his stamina appeared to be vastly improved. He was so slow and got tired so easily in summer league.

Losing my mind over how good Aday Mara looked in his minutes tonight. OKC may have found themselves another dude.
