In the second half of the confrontation with the Orlando Magic in the NBA tournament, Josh Giddey had a counterattack pass from a distance of 25 meters aimed at teammate Kenrich Williams. In the 2-point area at home, the Australian player made a pass that completely eliminated the opposing players and found Williams. The beautiful ball ended with Luguentz Dort’s perfect 3-point shot.

Commentator Chris Fisher had to exclaim: “Giddey is like a rugby player. Rugby coaches will be pleased to see this replay. Look at Giddey’s pass to Kenrich, how perfect it was.
Giddey has been making spectacular passes like that for over a year. However, this pass is the most excellent, because it is at a distance of more than 25 m.” Despite Giddey’s brilliant performance, the Oklahoma City Thunder still fell to the Orlando Magic with a score of 115-126.
Josh Giddey is not the type of star player who scores a lot of points, instead he competes for rebounds, assists and contributes in aspects that are not shown statistically. Persistent, quiet but no less effective playing style is an important factor that helps the young player become an important factor for Oklahoma City Thunder.
Many experts believe that if he reaches his development ceiling, Thunder’s 2002-born defender can completely become a bright star in the NBA.
