OKC Thunder's Josh Giddey: Same Interview, Rookie Year and Now | GQ Sports

We time capsuled an interview with Oklahoma City Thunder star Josh Giddey from when he was just a rookie. One year later, he’s back for the same interview. How much has changed? What's remained the same? The standout Australian shooting guard has increased his PPG and averaged 16 points per game in 2023.

Giddey average almost 17 ppg & 6.3 ast, the dude doesnt remember his own stats but Im betting he gonna average 21/8/10 next season if he keeps it real, stays humble and be down to earth plus staying single keeps that mind focus great for Giddington

[@bkelly625]

That stat line is probably way too lofty with Chet and J Dub also demanding usage alongside SGA I don’t really see that happening but maybe

[@slender289]

@@bkelly625 Who knows with JDub & Chet there as threats I think he'll get more opportunities to score since the defense wont heavily focus on Giddey and his assist numbers will go up especially with Holmgren being a lob finisher

[@bkelly625]

@@slender289 If he really took off maybe. But J Dub is going to get the ball on the perimeter more as he develops and Chet will get his touches. There just likely won’t be enough possessions to go around for Giddey to put up 20 and 10 or more. His scoring might drop a little actually because J Dub was already outscoring him last 1/3rd of this past season. Counting stats don’t matter that much though if they are winning and his efficiency should go up because of the gravity of other players and I know he’s gonna get better on defense

What a stud, I mean with the skills and looks, and mind that he is just only 20 yo....... Josh can easily be one of the most recoginsable international players of his generation. Can't wait to see what he will be doing with Shai, Chet, J-Dub next season !
