Josh Giddey had it going tonight as he finished with 14 points on 7-of-18 shooting, grabbed 14 rebounds and dished out five assists.
What makes Giddey’s work on the boards even more impressive is that five of his 14 rebounds were on the offensive glass. The tall point guard certainly used his size to his advantage.
After the game, Giddey gave a great answer when asked about the criticisms he’s heard about his poor shooting numbers this season, saying improving his shot requires steps back before real positive change occurs.
Giddey is shooting 48.8 percent on effective field goal percentage, which is in the 27th percentile among forwards this season, according to Cleaning the Glass.
“Good things don’t happen overnight. These things take time and usually when you’re changing something you’ve done for years and years, there’s going to be backward steps before there’s forward steps.
“So I’m trusting Chip (Engelland). He is the best in the business at what he does. Confidence is unwavering, you know, being selective, taking the right shots, but whether they’re going in this year, next year or whatever, just trusting what he has in place because he’s done it for so long. His record speaks for itself. As all good things, nothing really happens overnight.”
