Josh Giddey plays 11 minutes in series finale
Josh Giddey shot 1-of-3 from the field in Saturdayโs 117-116 loss to Dallas, accounting for two points, four rebounds, and one assist in 11 minutes.
Advice: After playing well in the final three games of Oklahoma Cityโs four-game sweep of New Orleans, Giddey offered little value against the Mavericks. He played 17 minutes in the series opener and no more than 13 in any of the five games that followed. For Games 5 and 6, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault replaced Giddey in the starting lineup with Isaiah Joe due to the need for a floor spacer. The former lottery pick is eligible for a rookie-level extension this summer, but itโs fair to wonder if heโs the โodd man outโ in Oklahoma City. Giddey, who had a Yahoo ADP of 58.9, finished the regular season ranked well outside the top 100. If he remains with the Thunder, he shouldnโt be selected with a top 100 pick.
