EDGE Analysis

The rookie put up another solid line in the loss after dishing out a career-high 11 assists two games ago in Memphis. The Kentucky product is the Thunder's second scoring option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and although fellow freshman Cade Cunningham continues to steal most of the headlines, Giddey is a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year through the first 30 games of the season.
