Another record in the NBA – Eurosport

At 19 years and 84 days, the Australian, who broke the record of LaMelo Ball, who made a triple-double when he was 56 days older than himself last year, was selected sixth in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Giddey, who played his first game on December 28 after being stuck with NBA Protocols, averages 10.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.1 assists in the 2021-22 season.

Speaking after the match, the young player emphasized that the important thing is to win the match, despite individual statistics.

“As I said at the beginning of the season, individual statistics are very enjoyable, they make the night more enjoyable for you. But team winning is always better than individual stats. “I’d rather win with no points, assists or rebounds throughout the game than lose with a triple-double.”

Thunder Head Coach Jason Kidd had this to say about the young guard.

“Although he is 19 years old, he knows very well how to play the game. He’s very comfortable with the ball, and his teammates know that if he has the ball, he can always create an opportunity for them. He also has no issues with three-pointers. Giddey is a complete complete package.”
