Josh Giddey Is Right at Home in the NBA

Josh Giddey may resemble a Harry Styles warmup act more than a highly touted rookie, but the No. 6 pick in the 2021 draft is no fish-out-of-water at the NBA level. In fact, the 19-year-old Australian looks right at home. After just 26 games in Australia's National Basketball League last season, Giddey has been one of the most impressive rookies in the NBA alongside Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley and Scottie Barnes. The 6u200bu200b' 8" guard is one of only three teenagers in NBA history to tally 100 rebounds and 100 assists in his first 20 games, joining LeBron James and LaMelo Ball.
