Thunder: 4 immediate reactions to Josh Giddey trade to Bulls for Alex Caruso

3. Josh Giddey is a logical addition for the Bulls for multiple reasons

Even with his rather lackluster 2023-24 campaign, Josh Giddey is still a remarkably interesting basketball player.

Despite measuring in with a build of 6-foot-8 that more closely resembles a modern-day wing, his skill set is that of a pure point guard and floor general, as he's an offensive facilitator and table-setter at his core.

Even with his inconsistencies and other flaws from this past year, Giddey still went on to stuff the stat sheet with solid per-game averages of 12.3 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.8 assists on 47.5 percent shooting from the floor and, during the final month of action, he would only manage to up these numbers by posting 15.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 6.6 assists while shooting 53.4 percent from the floor and 36.2 percent from distance.

Giddey's pass-first play style could prove to be a great addition to this Bulls core that, at the moment, still rosters offensive studs like Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic, all of whom, along with the team as a whole, thrived when having a similar offensive talent in Lonzo Ball manning point back in 2021-22.

With Ball slowly continuing to nurse his way back from a two-and-a-half-year injury-induced hiatus, assuming Chicago wishes to remain competitive heading into next season, having someone of the, now, former OKC Thunder guard's ilk playing the one in his place could be beneficial for the team to get reacclimated to running with a pure-ish point guard in tow (something they really haven't had since the 26-year-old has been sidelined).

However, even if they are simply gearing up to blow up their once win-now roster, considering Giddey's rotational and play versatility, coupled with the fact that he's still just 21 years old and entering into his fourth season in the association, he's an ideal talent to have serve as a building block heading into a rebuild.

For many reasons, his addition to the team could be viewed as quite logical.
