Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey are set to go Toe to Toe in the Olympics in 24 hours, but that matchup should not warrant overreactions.
In just under 24 hours the NBA World will have a chance to do their favorite thing: Overreact. Team Canada is set to face off with Team Australia in an important Group A clash. Pushing to 2-0 in what is being deemed the Group of Death, offers a huge leg up for the victors in their attempt to medal at the Paris games.
The Thunder elected to ship Giddey to Chicago to open up the NBA offseason in a swap that netted the Bricktown boys Alex Caruso. The defensive ace who strokes the trey ball at a 40 percent clip fits like a glove in Oklahoma City and Giddey is now primed to participate in a more palatable system for his skillset in the windy city.
Giddey from this Olympics through his time with the Bulls will continue to improve and produce at a higher clip than he ever did with the Thunder - and ever was going to do - this is not a case of the Bricktown boys giving up on a young player prematurely, it is a classic fit issue with the only fix being a change of scenery.
