ATLANTA – Josh Giddey isn’t much into Hollywood endings, but even he thought the pitch for the script sounded “pretty cool.”
Aussie hoop star travels to the United States, gets selected No. 6 overall in the NBA draft, falls out of favor after three seasons, admittedly “rock bottom,” gets traded, but finds a new home in Chicago. And the classic Hollywood ending? Ends up becoming an All-Star.
That’s where the script remains unfinished. At least for now.
“When you put it like that it does sound pretty cool,” Giddey said with a smirk.
