Next up for Intentions annual OKC Thunder prospect profile series is Adelaide guard Josh Giddey of the NBL.
There will be inevitable comparisons to Australian’s Ben Simmons and Joe Ingles for the 6’8 point guard from Melbourne. Yet, Giddey has qualities that will set him apart and his countrymen. Moreover, as one of the youngest prospects in the 2021 draft class, he’ll have time to grow and develop with his drafting club and build his own niche.
Giddey isn’t listed on the Australian men’s Olympic basketball team.
