meh
He’s been playing great in a role he never imagined he’d be in and he’s made all the correct little changes to maximize the role with SGA and figure it out really quick. He’s playing very good right now. And his defense, or at least improvements on that end, is better than you’re giving credit for here. Jalen green is an awful defender and is not figuring out. Big strong giddey os nowhere near that level and has b3come at worst a neutral on defense, not giving up anything on that end from his offensive contributions.
Also I watched the live as it aired and it was great, but this was a great idea breaking each section down into its own video for additional, great content. Very smart and appreciated
Also the youngest player in the class.
Hes basically Luka Doncic minus about half of the scoring arsenal.
Man I wish they actually watched us play. They'd be talking about how jdub actually guards 4s really well. Talk about the coaching staff and system
People forget Giddey is 20yo his upside is Huge
I think they hit the nail on the head with OKC’s rebuild. They are definitely going for oversized skilled players at each position. But do they think Dort will be traded or sent to the bench for Jalen Williams? It sounds like their ideal lineup for OKC is Giddey, SGA, Jalen Williams, a Power Forward, and Chet. So that leaves Dort as the odd man out. Personally I think Jalen Williams can slide over to the 4 so Dort can still be their POA defender against 1-3.
My guy giddy can't create his own shot . He backs people down . Handle shaky
Finally some respect shown on Josh's name. The talk about being one of the 5 smartest players is spot on . And his three point shot and aggression to the rim is mighty impressive . From an Australian fan pont of view I just wish that Ben Simmons had the heart & willingness of Josh Giddey . But yeh Josh's shot inprovement is real. Catch and shoot threes would be even higher I reckon
lamelo ball is top 3 iq caus of court eyeballs
They won’t keep lineup with Dort Shai Giddey JDub 4 starters next season. Someone should move to the bench, who do you think is the best person to be the 6th man?
I would put Giddey. I don’t understand why you guys are ok with his defensive abilities in finishing lineup. He’s not Steph Curry offensively to this team, not having a huge role in this 5 playmaker system. Putting him in bench make other 4 guys life easier defensively.
