Drops 20 points in win
Gilgeous-Alexander has unsurprisingly been integral to Canada's undefeated run in the group stage of the Olympics, and he's scored at least 20 points in two of his three appearances. He was particularly effective from the charity stripe Friday and drained several late free throws to help clinch the win. Gilgeous-Alexander should remain heavily involved during the knockout round.

Team-high seven assists in win
While Greece tried to contain Gilgeous-Alexander, he continued to find a way to score and feed his teammates along the way. The All-Star had a team-high seven assists, but he also led the team in blocks as well. The 26-year-old will likely continue to serve as the No. 1 option for Canada, and his ability to score and find his teammates will play an extremely important factor in the squad's success.

Starring for Canada
After coming in second for the KIA NBA Most Valuable Player for 2023-24, Gilgeous-Alexander is set to focus his offseason efforts on the Olympics. In a team littered with NBA talent, Canada has expectations to compete for a medal in Paris. Even alongside players like Jamal Murray, RJ Barrett, Luguentz Dort and Andrew Nembhard, Gilgeous-Alexander should operate as the squad's go-to scorer.
