Scouting report

Backcourt analysis

Rated 86 overall, Josh Giddey is an All-Star calibre point guard in Backcourt — inside the top 9% of the whole player pool.

His best fit is the Floor general role, which runs the offense and sets up everyone else, with low usage of his own. His passing (92), basketball IQ (86) and speed (87) are exactly what that role asks for, and the game rates the match as “Suits him”.

For a point guard, his standout attributes are rebounding (86) and defense (83), in the top 2% and 3% of point guards respectively.

Build the rotation around him, but cap his minutes near 34 in ordinary weeks and save the heavy nights for the Cup and the playoff race. A stamina of 87 lets him carry more than most.

At 23 he still has room to grow toward a potential of 96.

He earns $25.0M a season with a transfer value of $77.4M — fairly priced for his rating.
