It wasn't that long ago 6-foot-8 Australian point guard Josh Giddey's objective was to play in the NBL — not the NBA.
The Melbourne native had his country's National Basketball League in mind when it came to career goals, but his game kept improving — and eventually so did his goals.
“I was good at basketball but I just didn't think I’d be in the position I am now,” Giddey said. “My goal was to be a good NBL player. The NBA was always a dream, but it didn’t become a reality until probably six to 12 months ago.
