LOS ANGELES – Josh Giddey was calling BS.
The Bulls guard was informed that youngster Matas Buzelis didn’t feel like he’s hit the proverbial “rookie wall,” and immediately laughed while also setting the record straight.
“He’s lying,” Giddey said.
After all, it wasn’t long ago that Giddey was a fresh-faced rook, trying to find his way in Oklahoma City back in the 2021-22 season. Not only did he recall hitting the wall, but the wall hitting back.
“For me the way I started my rookie year, I was frantic, everything was 100 mph, and then slowly the game started to become slower that year,” Giddey said on Saturday.
