The Los Angeles Clippers are one of the deepest teams in the league across all positions. Despite competition, however, rookie Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has proven time and time again that he deserves to be a starter for the remainder of the season.

As previously discussed, there were some early-season rotation decisions that coach Doc Rivers was going to have to figure out if the Los Angeles Clippers were to continue their success.

Now currently sitting at 15-6 and first in the Western Conference, the Clippers have turned heads across the league and have surprised everyone in a multitude of ways with a now fully healthy roster.

While he’s definitely not the only reason the team is doing so well, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander becoming a consistent member of the starting lineup has proved extremely beneficial for L.A.’s success.

With his recent play and future outlook, as well as superiority over competition, there is no reason why SGA shouldn’t continue to start for the remainder of the year, barring any injuries.
