This would make it easier if Giddey was a better player, but that would also be the reason that the Bulls lock him up and this isn’t even a situation. I’d be more excited about Giddey if we didn’t have Avdija. But, we do have Avdija, who I think is a better all around player imo. Giddey is a better playmaker, but Avdija is a much better defender and he probably is a better shooter. I’m going to bank on Scoot and his work ethic. With his physical gifts and true PG type of game, I think having two All-NBA type of vets on both sides of the ball is going to turn him into an all-around PG.
True, I guess maybe he wasn't slotted in at the two, but it didn't feel like he was running the show as the 1 either... My point was simply that these were not good opportunities for Scoot.
