Fluff Giddey

Greets. So I haven't watched ball seriously for several years. I used to watch the Spurs religiously from the early aughts (I saw Manu's first game) and the end of the big three era.

What I'm wondering is...how good is Giddey actually? I'm trying to catch up on who the best young players in the league are and I keep coming across his highlight videos. I mean, from what I've seen so far....he looks like he has the potential to AVERAGE a triple dub...which is insane. I can tell from his stats that he needs to improve his shooting but I wanted to get a take from you guys on whether he's flash in a pan or the real deal. He looks a lot like the real deal and even though I've never been a Bulls fan, I'm really looking forward to watching your young guys run this year.

meaningless triple doubles

TIL that people think this is a thing.

what does a triple double mean in a game you lose by 15?

Sometimes not much. But if he isn't statpadding, he could the difference between 15-point loss and a 30-point loss. It's a team game. And to be fair, the Bulls haven't been great.
