Isaiah Hartenstein on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Sometimes it’s better to just get out of his way and let him do his thing offensively

Speaking of point guards, Hartenstein has had the luxury of playing alongside SGA this season and bringing his A-game playing alongside Knicks point guard, Jalen Brunson. While chatting with Hartenstein he shared what the similarities and differences are in playing alongside both All-Star guards. “They have a lot of similarities and they’re both team-first guys; that’s the similarities,” the Thunder big man shared. “They both can get to the midrange but it’s different. I mean, with Brunson it was really more of me really trying to get him open and establishing the two man game a little bit and we’re playing off of each other I think a little bit; and then sometimes with Shai, sometimes it’s just better to just get out of his way and let him do his thing because he’s so skilled offensively. Jalen is super skilled but I think it’s different. It’s so different. They’re both great players but again, you just have to adjust to every player I feel like. It’s been going well with Shai and we have to keep doing that connection.”
