As the NBA season nears the playoffs, it looks like Aussie star Josh Giddey is finally hitting his straps.
Josh Giddey has had an NBA season to forget in 2023/24 but the 21-year-old Aussie star is hitting his straps at just the right time.Giddey’s Oklahoma City reached 50 wins for the season for the first time since 2015/16 with a 119-112 win over the New Orleans Pelicans as the 21-year-old Aussie finally answered some questions for the side.
But now the mid-season trade deadline has long passed, it appears Giddey is playing with renewed freedom and improved his shooting.Shooting has long been the question mark over the Aussie’s head as he has proven to be an elite passer but has struggled to set the world on fire with his shooting. But it seems like Giddey has turned a corner, hitting a career-high five three pointers from eight attempts against the Pelicans in a season-high 25 point haul. He also had nine rebounds and four assists.
“He’s slowly figured out how to be a high-level, effective producer on one of the best teams in the NBA; scored in double digits in 11 of his last 12 games.”OKC beat writer for Forbes added: “Josh Giddey is shooting better than 50 per cent from beyond the arc in the month of March on over 40 attempts.”
