Sam Presti Defends Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Against Foul-Drawing Criticism

Thunder GM Sam Presti has launched a spirited defense of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander following persistent criticism regarding his foul-drawing style. Addressing the narrative during his end-of-season press conference, Presti stated, 'He's playing against 6 people. He's got 5 defenders, and the 6th defender is social media.' The organization is actively looking to move past their recent playoff exit and support their franchise cornerstone against external scrutiny.
