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.
There was a play last night where the call didn’t go his way and the next play he immediately charged down the court and very nearly lost it. That’s emblematic of what he needs to work out of his habits. There’s also a play every game where he buffalos through the paint and lays in an easy one. That’s emblematic of what he can contribute every night when he gains consistency. Nowadays we’re seeing some poor shooting but when his shot is falling, the defensive mismatch will be in his favor 90% of the time and will equate to efficient buckets in the playoffs where top (smaller) guards have to defend him.
