6:17pm: Agents Daniel Moldovan and Alex Saratsis of Octagon Sports have announced that Adelaide 36ers guard Josh Giddey will enter the 2021 NBA draft, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
The 6’8″ Giddey is currently ranked as the No. 13 prospect on ESPN’s big board, fourth among shooting guards.

“The 36ers have done a great job developing me, and have put a lot of work into my game over the entire time I’ve been here,” Giddey said in an announcement. “My teammates and the coaching staff here in Adelaide have helped my game reach a new level, and that’s only given me more confidence that this is the right decision for me.”
Excited for Giddey.
So you’re giddy for Giddey?
His father was a mudder.
Thumbs giddey-up for jawn.
Haha
If Philly drafts him, he moves up by 40 ers…
Second best PG in draft. Would love it if he lasted till Knicks pick. Which I doubt. I can see Warriors, Spurs taking him. He’s old school PG with size. Shot needs work, .69% FT shooter. So he can get there. Good handle great vision. He’s listed 6’ 8” great size.
