Watch Highlights from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's ESPN2 Appearance
Herald Courier
Playing against Penny Hardaway’s Memphis East High School, Kentucky signee Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 20 points and dished out nearly ten assists to lead Hamilton Heights to a 72-64 victory in front of a nationally televised audience.
Gilgeous-Alexander’s best assets are his quickness and ball control. He did not show much of his shooting range. Instead he got his teammates open from deep. Using subtle moves, SGA is not flashy, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t make some highlights.
This up-and-under between four defenders iced the game.

He never shied away from contact at the rim.

If you couldn’t tell yet, he runs the fast break well.

He makes the one-handed pass look easy.
