Five takeaways from the Thunder's Blue and White Scrimmage

The Thunder has its annual Blue and White Scrimmage at its practice facility in Edmond on Sunday. Here are five takeaways:

SGA stands out

Unlike other Blue and White Scrimmages, the Thunder never had players swap teams on Sunday. So when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was put on the Blue team opposite Chris Paul and Dennis Schroder, he was in for a heavy work load.

Gilgeous-Alexander couldn’t have handled it better, finishing with a game-high 21 points. He controlled the Blue offense with hesitation dribbles and on-balance drives despite his slender frame and some tough defense, while also drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line at will against any defender.
