He is averaging 10.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists per tilt thus far.

There will be growing pains for the 19-year-old, but the Thunder are seemingly willing to let him learn on the fly. Giddey and the Thunder return to the court Wednesday against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

After two lackluster showings to begin his NBA career, Giddey had easily his best game yet, putting up a well-rounded stat line in 34 minutes of action. Like most rookies, Giddey's production will be difficult to predict night-to-night, but the good news for fantasy managers is that the No. 6 pick in 2021 has already locked down a starting spot on a team willing to give its young players an extra-long leash.

Giddey managed just six points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block in 20 minutes during Friday's 124-91 loss to Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Giddey is going to have to get used to losing it appears, after the Thunder were comprehensively beaten once again. It has been a rough start to his NBA career and for those who drafted the young Aussie, patience is almost certainly going to be required. His peripheral production should be enough to keep him relevant but if you are looking for high volume output, you may need to focus elsewhere.

Giddey managed just four points (2-7 FG), 10 rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 107-86 loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

After an impressive preseason, Giddey came crashing back to earth against the Jazz. While he did manage double-digit rebounds, the offense was sketchy, and his defensive production was nonexistent. Of course, nights like this are to be expected from a player so young, and the Jazz are typically an elite defensive unit. Despite this poor performance, Giddey remains worth rostering in 12-team leagues.

Giddey finished Wednesday's preseason game against Denver with 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal.

EDGE Analysis

In his first NBA action since departing Summer League with a sprained ankle, Giddey was extremely impressive in a team-high 29 minutes of action. He got the start alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort, perhaps foreshadowing a three-guard lineup that could be the Thunder's go-to alignment to begin the regular season. The No. 6 pick in the 2021 Draft drilled a pair of three-pointers and finished with three assists, though he could have had several more, had teammates converted some of the open looks Giddey generated.

Giddey will start Monday's preseason game against the Hornets, Joe Mussatto of The Oklahoman reports.

EDGE Analysis

An ankle injury limited Giddey to only five minutes of action during Summer League in August, so this will be our first extended look at the No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. It appears as though Giddey will start as the nominal small forward alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luguentz Dort, Darius Bazley and Isaiah Roby. Head coach Mark Daigneault indicated that this could be his regular-season starting five, but given the Thunder's status as a rebuilding team stocked with young players, Daigneault will almost certainly experiment with several arrangements. Either way, this is an encouraging development for Giddey, who has impressed the coaching staff thus far in camp. We are looking at a lot of different things," Daigneault said pregame. "Giddey is a rookie but in camp he has shown us what we expected and he has picked things up quickly."
