Clutch Player of the Year vote: All the rankings ever
· Yahoo Sports
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is this year's Clutch Player of the Year, and it really shouldn't be surprising. Considering how he has steadily become one of the most dangerous guards in close games, it was only a matter of time. Like Michael Jordan, Stephen Curry and even Kobe Bryant, Gilgeous-Alexander has gotten to the point where it just feels inevitable that he will knock down certain shots that close out the game for the Thunder.
As we covered a few weeks ago, the defending champions are in the midst of one of the most clutch seasons in recent memory. Oklahoma City's point differential of +11.1 is the best in the league, which makes Gilgeous-Alexander's ability to deliver in those fewer high-leverage moments all the more impressive.
