Last season, OKC Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander called Isaiah Hartenstein "a dream big man for a marquee guy," and even publicly admitted that the center is by far the best screen-setter he's ever had the pleasure of playing with.
Now, during the early stages of year two with the organization, it seems that his other running mates are reaping the rewards of playing alongside this brick wall of a man as well.
During a recent episode of Game Theory Podcast, host Sam Vecenie discussed the impact Hartenstein's efforts have had on his teammates from an in-depth statistics standpoint, noting that guys like Ajay Mitchell, Aaron Wiggins, and Isaiah Joe are averaging north of 40 points per night as a collective thanks, in large part, to the 27-year-old's screen-setting abilities.
