Best inbound passer in the league. Terrific pick up for Chicago.

This channel is a literal hidden gem.

Giddey is a better facilitator in half-court offense than Ball.

A tip for his new team mates, if Giddey has the ball, your head better be on a swivel.

In his presser he made a point that he was gonna work on his defense and i think that reads well. Obviously he knows his struggles and he knows its obvious so it could be performative but i think atleast acknowledging it gives me hope that under Billy's system that improvement can come.

First break down that has me excited, he could end up a top 10 assist guy with the current core (minus Demar 😢)

He’s back glad you are doing better 😊

Great breakdown Duncan! Love this channel!!!

Great analysis, accurate depiction of positives and negatives. Giddey displays a penchant for craftiness in passing, vision and building some unpredictability into his offensive game. But it looks like he yields with little or no fight if contested at the rim. I would have loved to have seen some detail on his defense, but maybe that’s better discussed after some progress is noticeable.

As an Australian, I've watched almost all his games. Last season wasn't great due to a combination of off-court AND J Williams development. Between SGA and J-DUB they dominate the ball, add in Chet and to a lesser degree Dort, there was not much left for Giddey. Using him off the ball, simply does not make use of his skills and maximizes his weaknesses. I hope that this off-season and being traded (especially after the dallas series) I hope he works on his weaknesses. If there is no improvement his career is limited: I agree mostly with SlamDuncan: - he needs to improve his defensive effort, too many times he makes a swipe at the ball and that's his defense. I cannot tell if he mainly gets beaten due to physical limitations or out of his poor effort/hussle (see comments at end of this post) - he needs to work on his left, its not currently good enough for the NBA (a lot of his finishing misses are left hand related) - he needs to work on his athleticism, he needs to get stronger and needs to work on his jumping ability (I think he has cruised by on natural playmaking IQ). I see no reason why he cannot get to the point where he drives and dunks - he needs to be more physical, I see him getting to 6'8" 225-228 pounds and he needs to impose himself on other guards (like Luka does) Funnily his old man was a defensive player that was the hussle king in the Australian basketball league.

Welcome back Duncan

algo suggestion, subbed, nice and humble analysis.

Great content. The data analysis play breakdowns im a big fan of. But on Pwill and the rebs If opposing teams wings r taking jumpshots and pwill is guarding them i have a hard time seeing him attempt to block a shot and grab the reb play after play. And contested rebs i saw vuc get outworked way more than pwill but everyone praises vuc reb numbers. They should b way higher but vuc cant jump. If pwill has to continuously always guard the opposing teams best player he won't b able to grab as many rebs as fans want unfortunately

He's Back!

I'm a thunder fan, you did not even mention his best asset. I watch a lot of okc games and he is the best at inbounds passes

Been awhile Duncan ❤

Can’t go wrong with a 6’6 PG

He's above average at best. Ended up being carried by a good team. Let's see what he can do far a bad team. Pfft...

Giddey to Matas for the Jam

He and P Will should have a jumping contest. First to six inches wins.

if you can’t shoot 50% on your wide open 3’s then you are awful giddy has to play SF since he is so slow defensively which will negate a lot of his size. giddy is an interesting prospect but he is obviously your #3 wing defender and he really has to fix his jumper. lets say the Bulls had drafted ron holland. would holland, giddy and pwill have worked out? probably.

We need to ditch vooch, really feel like it's not a good pairing. Same with DeMar sadly

the Nba is all about 3 and d and drive and kick. AK still hasn’t figured this out. you actually don’t even need a point gaurd per-say. i am not sure why AK is obsessed with players with short arms who don’t move well laterally who can shoot. players like matas, giddy and vuc have a real low probability of success. they are #5 starters.

Pat's rebounding stats 💀

This is the REAL point guard. Thats wyhy we get him. Not Coby
