He’s getting by on perceived potential based on being decent a few years ago on OKC. He has not gotten better I’d argue he has regressed, terrible defender, average at best 3 point shooter (although he’s been shooting well so far this season but that’ll return to the mean soon) he is a slightly above average passer. What’s so good about him to you besides being white?
“He’s getting by on perceived potential based on being decent a few years ago on OKC”
I don’t understand this
So then you’re basing your opinion solely on him in OKC before SGA becoming a MVP candidate and when he had a down year from being slowly phased out and 6 games in Chicago
He’s 22 why would you not factor in potential?
When would he have had the opportunity to get better after his first 2 good years in OKC? It wouldn’t be last year and this season on a team where there’s 5 other guards to contend with the season just started
(Which I’ll add, despite chicago’s roster he’s playing really well)
Where’s the regression coming from if you admitted he’s shooting better?
I almost didn’t answer because you brought up him being white
Don’t say no shit like that to me no more
I could respond saying you don’t like him because he’s white and that’s a stupid way to discuss players
Giddey is good to me because he is a young solid overall player who can do a lot to impact the game offensively. He’s a great passer and connector in an offense and he’s a solid rebounder for his position
hes nowhere near a finished product and won’t even enter his prime for another 3 seasons
His potential is great even if he might not be a positive defender
