Shai Gilgeous-Alexander ranks in the top-10 in free throw attempts per game. He’s the only non-All Star on the list.
Getting to the line more often has been the latest step in SGA’s evolution as a scorer: oklahoman.com/story/sports/n…11:57 AM

Josh Giddey is out for the rest of the season. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s return is uncertain. Jeremiah Robinson-Earl will be back soon.
