"I gave Shai everything I had, everything in my bag," Cassell told ESPN. They're giving you the 15-foot pull-up shot," Cassell told ESPN. "As my game's been molded and as I came into my own, I've tried to stick with what works and what's comfortable to me," Gilgeous-Alexander told ESPN. Gilgeous-Alexander shot over Nesmith a half-step away from that same spot, creating space by dribbling behind his back before stepping back. He's 6-6½ with a wingspan of 6-11½, giving Gilgeous-Alexander the length to get good looks over defenders.
