Josh Giddey meeting with Chicago media for the first time right now.
Echoes the OKC statement that he didn’t want to move into a bench role, although he said the Bulls have not guaranteed he will be starting PG.
Described last year as an adjustment period he hopes to grow from. pic.twitter.com/8Yp8MH19QB – 3:11 PM

Josh Giddey said it was going to be hard to tap into his potential with the Thunder due to the amount of ball-handlers they have. Said a change of scenery helps him with that – 3:10 PM

Giddey said he hasn’t been guaranteed the starting point guard spot … but who are we fooling … go ahead and pencil him in. Do it … it’s ok. – 3:09 PM

Josh Giddey explained his “tough season” as what happened on the court with the Thunder and his changing role. Sounded like the off-the-court distractions were not the issue. – 3:07 PM

If the Bulls can’t find a trade for Zach LaVine, some relationship rehabilitation would be needed. But he projects to fit well alongside Josh Giddey, Coby White and others.

More on this storyline
Giddey spoke more about his conversations with Presti in his introductory press conference with the Bulls. He said he’d rather get a fresh start elsewhere as a primary ball-handler in hopes of a massive extension. “I just said to him, ‘At this point in my career, I’m 21 years old, it wasn’t something that I was overly eager to do.’ He completely understood. Throughout the whole process, we were open and honest with each other,” Giddey said. “.. He got it. We worked together through the whole process and he got me to a great spot.” -via OKC Thunder Wire / June 25, 2024
