WATCH: Giddey Reflects on Rookie Season
Josh Giddey was a surprise to many during his rookie season. Climbing the rookie ladder and threading tough passes in traffic, Giddey was making a splash.
Named Western Conference Rookie of the Month for four months straight, Giddey probably would have been awarded one more if he did not get injured.
Among the awards, Giddey became the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double.
During his exit interview Giddey said,” as I got into the season, I got more comfortable within my role and started to figure it out a bit more. So, I think, each week each game throughout the season, I progressively picked up new things got better, got more confidence.”
Exceeding expectations over his rookie season, Giddey has already proven just how special of a player he is.
What’s exciting for Oklahoma City is that Giddey is no where near his ceiling and he’s more advanced than anticipated.
