When thinking of the NBA’s top young players, Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey rarely comes to mind. Not because he isn’t talented, but because he’s already a fifth-year pro with 280 games under his belt—the sixth-most from the 2021 draft class.
However, he’s still only 23 years old, having just celebrated his birthday 10 days ago. Remarkably, Giddey is younger than 14 players selected in July's draft. He continues to improve and discover new aspects of his game, as evidenced by his post-All-Star Game breakout. There’s clearly more room to grow.
As a result, Giddey appeared in FanSided’s 25-under-25 rankings, though not as you might expect.
