Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to make a compelling case as one of the most efficient elite scorers in the NBA this season – and the numbers back it up beyond the usual highlight reel. With his scoring average at 31.8 points per game, SGA combines volume with precision from the field.

What makes his production even more impressive: even when you strip out points scored from free throws, Gilgeous-Alexander remains one of the league’s most potent scoring threats. According to current statistical splits, he’s averaging well over 23 points per game purely from field goals, a mark that places him among the top scorers in the NBA on non-free-throw baskets

This level of scoring highlights SGA’s skillset and shot creation ability – from his mastery of mid-range pull-ups to efficient finishing around the rim and improved three-point shooting. His 54.7 percent field-goal efficiency and near 40 percent three-point clip reflect a scorer who isn’t just piling up points, but doing so with excellent shot selection and accuracy.

SGA’s efficiency isn’t just about raw numbers – it’s about how he gets them: elite shot creation off the dribble, savvy reads in the pick-and-roll and an ability to score in a variety of ways that goes beyond drawing fouls. Experts have noted his mid-range scoring and off-balance craftiness as features that set his game apart in an analytics-driven era.
