I know I’m a homer but Shai actually should have been one higher. His steals numbers we’re bananas most of the season. If he hadn’t sat for those few / we had less garbage time down the stretch, he goes >2 steals per game which was his average before more sitting. For most of the season it was like, greater difference between him and then-2nd place PG-13 than PG and spot 9 or something, while also averaged 1 block. He has more “Stocks” than Rudy.
And he’s #3 in deflections per game as well as total deflections while top 5 in contested 3s.
Dude was good. Meanwhile, Herb Jones who was above him, is top 10 in virtually no hustle stats except being effectively tied with SGA on contested 3s.
