Pratt’s Play of the Day (October 26)
Josh Giddey
After an underwhelming start to his rookie season, Giddey filled up the stat sheet Sunday against Philly. The Australian sensation finished with 19 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists en route to a 47 DKFP performance against a tough 76ers defense. At 6’8, Giddey is a versatile ball-handler that should thrive in Oklahoma City’s young offense with a multitude of opportunities. Next up, the Thunder take on a Warriors defense that ranks 28th against SFs, giving Giddey a chance to build on this positive momentum.
