I think more important distinction is that this what Giddey does when you allow if you give him control of the offense. If you put on him off ball like he was in OKC last season and how was here most of the season he won’t produce.
The question is whether they think he can be good enough to warrant that kind of usage.
The part the everyone keeps on forgetting is that he’s only been doing this for a month. Mainly since the Zach Lavine trade. Which shows that he still can’t play with high usage players.
The other thing the Giddey fans forget is that he needs to learn how to play off ball in order to be a successful starter on a Good team.. Even a guy like Luka who’s way more talented than Giddey had to learn this. This is not sustainable winning basketball. Also his 3PT% will eventually go back down to earth. Let’s see how it works this.
If think he can shoot mid to upper 30s from three. He just needs shoot it well enough that teams can’t ignore him off ball. He is showing improvement and confidence with it. His form is still ugly, but it has gotten quicker.
The limited shot versatility hurts him as well.
