JOSH GIDDEY NEWS

Solid all-around showing Friday Giddey produced 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and nine assists across 24 minutes during Friday's 133-122 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Giddey had a modest output in the season-opening loss to the Pelicans on Wednesday, but he played a prominent role in this win, ending just one assist away from a double-double and leading the Bulls in that category. At his best, Giddey is a player capable of racking up stats and filling out the stat sheet on a regular basis, and his numbers should trend in the right direction -- compared to the season opener -- as he gets more comfortable running the offense alongside Coby White, Zach LaVIne and Nikola Vucevic.

Modest numbers in Chicago debut Giddey chipped in 14 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 123-111 loss to New Orleans.

Impact In his Bulls debut, Giddey struggled to make an impact at both ends of the court, posting a team-worst minus-22 plus-minus rating and committing as many turnovers as he had assists. The 22-year-old guard's numbers declined last season with OKC, but Giddey should see a higher usage rate in Chicago, especially if the team trades away veterans like Zach LaVine.

Impact As expected, Giddey is good to go for the regular season after resting during the preseason finale.

Hands out five dimes Monday Giddey finished with 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, five assists and a block across 22 minutes in Monday's 111-107 preseason loss to the Bucks.

Impact Giddey is slated to open the 2024-25 season as the Bulls' starting point guard, so it's certainly a good omen to see him lead the team in assists in a game where none of the other projected starters saw action. Giddey is coming off a down 2023-24 season with the Thunder, but he's hoping to bounce back in Chicago, where he'll have a bigger role and more freedom on offense.

Impact The 21-year-old guard has been on the mend in training camp from an ankle injury he picked up in the Olympics, but Giddey seemed fully recovered Tuesday, and only Coby White played more minutes among Chicago's starting five in the team's preseason opener. Giddey saw his court time and his production decline with the Thunder last season, but a fresh start with the Bulls could re-ignite the talent that allowed him to average 16.6 points, 7.9 boards and 6.2 assists over 76 regular-season games in 2022-23.
