## Resource

Sam Presti is firing back at critics who say Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s style is bad for basketball, calling social media the “sixth defender” and defending his two-way game, defensive consistency, and fan engagement — while also highlighting how he defies NBA superstar stereotypes. Presti also praised Gilgeous-Alexander’s durability and professionalism, contrasting him with other stars who take more free throws. Meanwhile, the NBA’s new draft lottery system — set to begin in 2027 — aims to curb tanking, with the Thunder voting yes alongside 28 other teams. As the draft nears, OKC must navigate player options and three picks, possibly drafting and trading for future impact. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
