I see all these posts and discussion about Giddey not being a right fit and we should consider trading him sooner rather than later while his value is still high.
Of course fit is going to come up for some of our guys sometime, but that is not the time.
I remember a lot of us (including me I’ll admit it) saying the same thing about Dort last year, and now he’s playing amazing and I’m not hearing a pip about his fit.
So that’s why I’m not concerned about Giddey, especially since it’s so early in the season and the same thing happened last year, he had a rough start then played very good. And honestly, his talent at his age wouldn’t make me panick even if still does have a subpar year.
You guys need to be patient, were still one of, if not the youngest team in the league, these guys are young especially Giddey, he’s younger than Jalen guys ! And we’ve only played 10 games and are on a good standing and showing a lot of growth.
I know it’s mostly a vocal minority but I thought I should post as well so that this sub is not full of pessimistic posts.
MY theory is he has to train defenses to respect his driving/finishing ability because they’re already trained to watch for the pass.
If teams are leaving him open because they fear his pass more, he HAS to take advantage because the day he loses that is the day his game really becomes a hinderance.
I’m personally a fan of this version of Gid, the trend of OKC players so far is the things they do a lot, they end up mastering. So if Giddey can be a driving threat at high volume??? Do y’all know what that does for us? Like if Giddey is just ANOTHER SGA/dub type… sheesh.
You aight white boi 🫱🏻🫲🏾
I think exactly the same, as I said in another comment, he has to be a better offensive option so that his passing can shine. What we’re seeing is a Giddey that is “forcing” his drives so that he gets better eventually so that his playmaking can be at its best. Then it’ll be his shooting. You can’t be better without trying and trying.
Right now teams don’t fear Giddey. Lol. Right now they are happy AF that he’s on the floor screwing something up.
