Is it time to start talking about Shai Gregeous-Alexander?

[ksemmel]

I never paid much attention to him until about two weeks ago.

Other than one crappy game against the Bulls, he has played pretty well. The last 5 games alone he has averaged over 26 pts p/g

Don't worry, people won't get very far searching for Gregeous-Alexander.

Stats are up from last year beacuse of minutes. Hasn't improved on anything.

Well.. Considering most players in bench roles get exposed when their minutes increase, I'd say that's an improvement in itself.

Dude has played very well and yet no chatter on these boards about him. After watching him play a few games recently I even decided to buy a few raw Prizm silvers. Stunned to be able to pick them up for under $40 per

OKC...

Clearly... based on his prices. But I’d think his silvers at $40 seem a little cheap for a guy putting up points over the last month

that's a lazy and incorrect take.

his minutes went up from 26.5 to 35.2 (32% increase)
his points went up from 10.8 to 19.4 (80% increase)

his efficiency hasn't really improved, but I think it's mostly because of the way he's being used. last year he was more of a defender and almost never touched the ball behind Tobias, Gallo, and Lou Williams. This year he's leading the team in attempts but from the games I've watched I don't like their offense at all. They play 3 PGs at a time and mostly just dance around Adams setting picks while the two guys without the ball just spot up. They should get rid of Schroeder, he leads the team in FGA most games from the bench and I think they'd be better off letting the young guys grow and have CP distribute and put them in positions to succeed

hobby wise his stuff has ticked up, but hard to see it really taking off unless they get rid of CP and Schroeder and just give SGA the ball, like a Siakam situation. I think he was definitely the one who flew under the radar of the last class, I ended up scooping up maybe 15 silvers this summer because they were going for the same amount as Lonnie Walker and Anfernee Simons, and way under MPJ...

Cool. Hope you make a killing. Good luck.

No. Keep talking about the great huge hype that hasn't played this season but his stuff sells like MJ who is ZION WILLIAMSON.

SGA is definitely picking up value. His silver psa 10 were 130 in August, now it is in 220-250 range.

OKC is a playoff team this year if they can keep this up. SGA will get a chance to get more recognition then.

Edit: oh wait never mind, it is Dennis Schroder that is propelling this team. Also watch out, Liangelo Ball joined the OKC G-league affiliate, as a practice player.

Why is there no RC logo on his Prizm cards?

Manufacturing error. Just like Josh Hart having a RC logo for 2018-19 prizm.

Ok thanks. Does that hurt their value vs. owning Optic?

Don’t think so. It’s still his rookie Prizm. Anthony Davis Prizm RC also lacks the logo and it still sells well. Even the 2011 guys like Kyrie, people understand it’s their Prizm RC

Btw I’m not trying to pump, I followed him and Jerome Robinson all last year because I grew up a Clippers fan and they were picked by Jerry West so I figured they had to be good. I legit enjoy watching him play though, super crafty game for a young guy and by all accounts is a good guy and hard worker. Sucks to be exiled in OKC though, hopefully they keep winning or find a way to unload CP’s monster contract

[codered]

I’m just happy he’s committed to playing for the national team next summer. 2020 Tokyo here we come!!

Good question, I doubt it. Collectors will know this is his RC card. However, in the long-term I am not sure.

Currently I don’t see any pricing anomalies that indicate optic prices are higher compared to prizm.

You should see his hype diversion as a godsend, then...and encourage it. Not sure why you're complaining.

Let's face it, dudes like Luka and Trae most likely won't surpass any of those 3 mentioned guys either. That's why it's called prospecting.
