Nah. I think Shai plays more like a small George Gervin than Clyde. More finesse than jumping out the gym.

Not even close.

Except for the part where Shai is a primary playmaker and ballhandler and his game is 90% finesse and craftiness when Clyde was none of that and a freak who used his ability to jump outta the gym to score

He plays more like Tyreke Evans.

I can’t really think of a good all-around player comparison for Shai.
His repertoire in the midrange has Jordan all over it, he’s got a slew of Jordan-esque fadeaways and pivot foot wizardry. But he’s still primarily a slasher and no one has ever really played the way Shai does. Guys like Luka and prime Harden get to the rim at a similar clip, but in much different ways. Shai uses spin moves, scoop layups, and finger rolls to an *extreme* degree.
