He oozes talent and versatility, easily crunching numbers, but something doesn't quite click entirely for Josh Giddey. At 21 years old, the Australian requested to leave OKC to start and have a prominent role in his new phase, but landing with the Chicago Bulls might pose a problem for his development. Many believe he may never become an All-Star.

Giddey's rebounding and assist abilities make him a truly intriguing modern point guard. His 2.03m height provides him with much-needed skills in the NBA, and his major drawback, his shooting, has markedly improved during the Olympic event, showing an ability to score from outside. His arrival at the Bulls guarantees more minutes but could hinder his progression as a player due to the franchise's tough competitive environment.

Many see Josh Giddey as a good role player, a starter who becomes the third sword of a great team, but even with impressive stats, falls short of an All-Star level. It's up to him to refute that theory and demonstrate that he can be a pivotal figure in a team with aspirations. The short-term future of the Chicago Bulls heavily relies on his ability to make an impact in Illinois from the get-go.
