The Oklahoma City Thunder end-of-season report series is here and it is time to evaluate Josh Giddey's up-and-down third year.
The Oklahoma City Thunder capped off a brilliant 2023-24 campaign with a 57-25 record that saw the Bricktown boys win their first playoff series since 2016. Despite falling in six games to the eventual Western Conference Champion Dallas Mavericks in the second round, the Thunder season could be described as nothing short of a success.
Giddey averaged a career-low 12.3 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.1 stocks per tilt while shooting 47 percent from the floor, a career-best 33 percent from beyond the arc and 80 percent from the charity stripe. The Oklahoma City Thunder relegated Giddey into a role that was based around being away from the ball and a catch-and-shoot weapon with a difficult task defensively against overpowering athletes at times. It is no surprise the Thunder saw Giddey struggle as these were never the focal points on his game.in his exit interview just mere weeks ago. For the youngster to thrive he needs a role tailored around his skillsets. Playing on the ball, setting the table and finding a way to get downhill.
