Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was traded from the Clippers after his rookie season, while his head coach Mark Daigneault was gearing up for his first campaign. While discussing Gilgeous-Alexander's demeanor as the Thunder's leader, Daigneault also pointed to SGA's thoughtfulness during postgame pressers as he addressed the media.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is mostly an expressionless, seemingly emotionless model of consistency. Whether Oklahoma City's superstar guard has an off night or scores 50 points, the cool Canadian sticks to the script.
