Rivers predicted stardom for Gilgeous-Alexander, but says Thunder star has exceeded expectations

Doc Rivers says he saw star potential in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander while coaching him as a rookie before the Los Angeles Clippers traded him to Oklahoma City. “I don’t think anybody in the world saw this in him,” said Rivers, who coached the Clippers from 2013-20. Rivers was speaking before his Milwaukee Bucks lost 121-105 to Gilgeous-Alexander’s Western Conference-leading Thunder on Sunday night.
