[Sriraman] Josh Giddey has hit a new low point […] The future for him looks bleak.

  1. Future is bleak as long as AK is there. Reinsdorfs are never leaving so AK is the only thing we can change

  2. Can we not kill Josh Giddey all season? Anyone with a brain thought OKC killed us in the Caruso trade. What he’s showing us is exactly what we thought he was going to be.

  3. I really don’t know what the long term play is for him from either Billy or the FO standpoints is.

    You either see what he’s doing and utilize him as what he’s been and that’s a tank commander or you realize the detriment he is and pull his minutes. I know it may be mental with him but it’s the NBA not a 10 and under league. The ones with the strongest mindsets are the winners. It’s just the way it is.

    If you’re trying to win then his minutes have to get cut and Ayo probably needs to start. I know the argument will be the Bulls are trying to make him something he’s not but giving someone that much usage that can’t shoot, can’t finish on drives AND can’t play defense is an absolute recipe for disaster.

  4. Dan Craig system is move the ball to create scoring opportunities. It is based on shooting and cutting. Giddey is not the athletic type to cut. And his shot is underdeveloped.

    I think it is encouraging to see he is still shooting the three. But he need to find a way to be effective in defense. Like defend bigs at the post. Instead of chasing guards.

  5. Might be a good idea to trade him at the deadline when some team in need of a second unit playmaker has a 2nd round to spare. For all their faults, AKME are actually pretty good at finding good players late in the draft.

    Otherwise, if they actually fully commit to the tank, let him command it and don’t bother re-signing him next season.

  6. I’ve been pretty vocal on here about how low I am on Giddey, but man he’s still just a young player trying to figure things out and it sucks to see him perform THIS poorly. Seeing the whole game thread shit on him relentlessly just makes me feel bad for him and want to root for him more.

    With that being said, this is starting to feel more and more like trading Taj for Cameron Payne – which was coincidentally with OKC too. Trading a valuable fan favorite role player for a young, underperforming PG with upside, only for it to backfire badly.

  7. He’s slightly regressed for the moment on a worse team, but still shooting okay considering his 3pt stroke is inconsistent. He gets to the rim with ease, but cannot seem to finish and does not get a lot of foul calls as of late. Not saying he’s going to explode, but he’s the player he was before.

  8. Sad he looks unplayable without the ball in his hands. Get this kid some east baskets in the beginning of the game.

  9. future for him is getting thanked for being one of the best tank GENERALS in recent history and not getting another deal from chicago bulls

  10. Here’s the thing, he is only a one-way player it’s his offense that makes him valuable. He can’t play defense. Oh wait! He can’t play offense either because he can’t shoot. So what does that make him?

  11. I will say that I don’t think that the specific lineups he’s out there with are optimized to get the best version of him.

    However, I’m also not convinced that the best version of him is some amazing player worth building around and committing major money to. Seems like he has at least 1 too many major flaws to be a full time starter in the league
