With the Bulls buzzing after Josh Giddey’s game-winning, half-court shot on Thursday night, Kevin O’Connor discussed the 22-year-old’s potential trajectory to stardom on Friday’s episode of “The Kevin O’Connor Show” with guest Tom Haberstroh.
O’Connor marveled at Giddey’s second-half leap this season — he’s averaging 22.8 points, 10.5 rebounds and 9.2 assists since the break, and shooting over 51% from 3. Giddey’s confidence on the court has provided a significant boost to the team — the Bulls have won eight of their past 10 games — and his budding chemistry with teammate Coby White has only strengthened their attack.
Expectations around Giddey are sky high. Haberstroh sees Giddey as a perennial All-Star if he can develop a reliable 3-point shot, and the Bulls might soon “throw the bag” at him. O’Connor wonders if Giddey could receive a $100 million contract this summer. His value has never been higher.
