It is no secret that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is having another huge season, but will his high usage rate prove to be a concern late in the year? The OKC Thunder star's 32.7 percent usage rate is the highest mark on the roster by a significant margin. Ajay Mitchell's 24.0 percent usage rate is second on the team.
Gilgeous-Alexander's usage rate is fifth in the NBA -- trailing only Luka Doncic (36.6), Jaylen Brown (35.4), Giannis Antetokounmpo (35.4), and Joel Embiid (34.5). Embiid, however, has only played in six total games while players such as Doncic and Brown have seen increased minutes due to other stars on their rosters (LeBron James and Jayson Tatum, respectively) missing time with injuries.
