College career

Summarize
Perspective

Gilgeous-Alexander started the 2017–18 season as a reserve, sitting behind freshman point guard Quade Green, but still averaged over 30 minutes per game. After a loss to UCLA, Alexander recorded 24 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals against Louisville in December.[15] When he first stepped on the University of Kentucky's campus, Gilgeous-Alexander had long hair. However, he cut his hair early in the season and some say this started his progression from sixth man to starting point guard.[16] He continued to lead the team for the following two games, scoring 21 points against Georgia and 18 against LSU. He was a consistent contributor to a "struggling" UK team that had a four-game losing streak during the season. He became a starter along with four other freshmen: Hamidou Diallo, Nick Richards, Kevin Knox II, and P. J. Washington. Despite their losses, his PPG shot up to 12.9 along with 3.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists. Gilgeous-Alexander had a great SEC tournament and continued that momentum into the NCAA Tournament. After playing great basketball in the first two rounds against Davidson and Buffalo, Kentucky lost to Kansas State in the Sweet 16. Gilgeous-Alexander's final college basketball moment was a missed three-point attempt at the buzzer. On April 9, 2018, he declared for the 2018 NBA draft.[17]

Gilgeous-Alexander with Canada in 2023

Gilgeous-Alexander played for the Canadian junior national team that competed in the 2016 FIBA Americas Under-18 Championship in Valdivia, Chile, averaging 7.8 points, 5.4 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per contest, en route to winning a silver medal.[85] Later in the same year he joined the senior national team at the 2016 FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Manila.[86] Canada was defeated by France in the tournament final, missing qualification to the 2016 Summer Olympics.[87]

On May 24, 2022, Gilgeous-Alexander was one of fourteen players to agree to a three-year commitment to play with the national team, aiming to break a decades-long trend of failing to qualify for the Olympic basketball tournament.[88] At the 2023 FIBA World Cup, Gilgeous-Alexander was the central figure on the Canadian roster, leading them on a historic deep run.[89][90] On September 3, they qualified to the quarter-finals of the tournament, in the process securing a berth at the 2024 Summer Olympics, which he called "almost indescribable."[91] The team ultimately won the bronze medal after defeating the United States in the third-place game. This was Canada's first ever World Cup medal, and first medal at a major global tournament since the 1936 Summer Olympics.[92][93] In recognition of his individual play, Gilgeous-Alexander was named to the World Cup All-Tournament Team.[94] For both this and his feats in the NBA in 2023, he received the Northern Star Award as Canada's athlete of the year and the Lionel Conacher Award as the Canadian Press' choice for Canadian male athlete of the year. Gilgeous-Alexander was only the second basketball player to receive the two honours, in both cases after Steve Nash.[95][96]

He was named to Canada's roster for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.[97] After a strong unbeaten performance in the group stage, which was deemed the "group of death" by experts,[98][99] Canada was surprisingly eliminated in the quarterfinals by hosts France.[100] Gilgeous-Alexander was named to the tournament's All-Second Team, after averaging 21 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4 assists per game.[101]

Listed at 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m) tall and weighing 195 pounds (88.5 kg), Gilgeous-Alexander is a combo guard known for his ability to slash through defenses and score on all three levels. His 6-foot 11 inch (2.11 m) wingspan, body control, speed, and embrace of defensive contact make him one of the best slashers in the history of the NBA, boasting a 68% career field goal percentage within 3 feet of the basket.[102]

Though he has yet to receive an All-Defensive Team selection, Gilgeous-Alexander is regarded as a solid two-way player, known for his ability to jump passing lanes and block shots as a guard. He earned All-Defensive Team votes from 2023 to 2025 and placing 7th in the voting for the 2024 Defensive Player of the Year Award.[103]

Gilgeous-Alexander has earned widespread praise across the NBA for his leadership, work ethic, and maturity. Former teammates Patrick Beverley and Chris Paul recognized his relentless work ethic and dedication to the game from beginning of his career, with Beverley comparing Gilgeous-Alexander's mindset to the likes of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.[104][105] Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault has praised Gilgeous-Alexander for his composure and selflessness, highlighting how he leads by example on and off the court.[106]

Gilgeous-Alexander has faced heavy fan criticism on social media for his high free throw numbers and tendency to embellish contact when driving. He led the NBA in total free throws made from the 2022–23 season to the 2024–25 season, though he has never led in free throws attempted. Former NBA player Richard Jefferson addressed the narrative of Gilgeous-Alexander being a "free-throw merchant" to discredit his offensive prowess, saying, “Shai is one of the most impressive people that I’ve ever talked to. I asked him about the free throws, and he’s like, ‘Yeah. You know what’s crazy about it is that two years ago, I averaged almost 11 free throws a game but we finished 10th and no one cared. When I wasn’t sending their best favorite player home when I wasn’t sending their team home, then no one cared that I was shooting 11 free throws a night and scoring this amount of points’. To me, this is the type of sickos that we love.”[107]
