Guy is 21 years old. 6-8”. He’s looking like a young Kukoc and fits perfectly next to SGA (cough, Dame).
His three ball is coming around and he shot 53% from two this year. His TS was .547% up from .478% his rookie year. His shooting trajectory keeps getting better.
Career high in points: 31
Career high in rebounds: 18
Career high in assists: 17
11 triple doubles to his name so far
And as you guys all laugh, the reality is that Presti probably doesn’t do the deal, based on Midds age and injuries. The only way it gets done is if OKC can’t afford to pay the tax in future years.
Even though I am the one that brought Giddey as a crazy idea and is not one I really like without sweeteners. Giddey is like you said and the hope is he takes another step like Avidja did and turn into a better rebounding and passing Franz Wagner. Even if he doesn't become an avg 3pt what he really need to improve to help his game is his FT rate and finish better. Like I said before, I think he will need the ball to do that. Detroit, Utah, Wash, or Chicago would be decent places. Even if OKC threw in Wallace or Joe, Wiggins, and Jaylin I don't think it would be a good deal.
