I empathize with Giddens – I, too, once had an NBA body but not necessarily the game. Never did get drafted, though….:-)

Giddens is without a doubt the quintessential late first round/second round gamble based on body and not on game. he has all the physical attributes to be an NBA starter but just doesn’t have the NBA brain or talent to add to his considerable physical gifts.

He will either be a leader in many NBADL stats categories for years to come or playing in Europe starting next season. He just doesn’t seem to be able to grasp some of the basic defensive schemes or offensive processes that will make him a viable NBA player.

Add to that the fact that he will be 25 years old in 3 weeks and it’s pretty obvious his window to impress NBA general managers might be running out. His only hope might be being thrown into a trade to a really bad team where he could get some run to shake off his inhibitions and fears and let the game finally come to him. New Jersey, Golden State, Minnesota and Washington come to mind

Great article as always Steve!!!
