Mahdi is an absolute blur with the ball and it doesn’t matter if it’s in transition or in the half court. If the defense isn’t dialed in as a unit, Mahdi can get from half court to the bucket in the blink of an eye. There isn’t much wasted movement in his attack either. Once he sees a driving lane, his burst allows him to expose the advantage and he’s able to allude defenders with euros or side-steps while maintaining nice balance on the finishes. He and Oyekan fueled the effort in the big win, as four of his 19 points came in the overtime frame. Mahdi also grabbed five boards and recorded five assists.
