While it might seem like a shock to see the Chicago Bulls trade away fan favorite Alex Caruso, trading him for young point guard Josh Giddey could be a stroke of genius. Giddey is just 21 years old and has shown flashes of brilliance throughout his NBA career. The Bulls, seemingly entering a rebuilding phase, get a cornerstone piece with tons of upside.
He finished the season with averages of 12.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 4.8 assists per contest while shooting 47.5% from the field and 33.7% from the three-point range.While Giddey's stock was down, and the Bulls traded a valuable player , it's also possible that the move could make them look smart.
Giddey is only 21, and he has career averages of 13.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.7 assists per contest while shooting 46.4% from the field in 210 games.For a Bulls team that appears to be signaling a rebuilding mode, landing Giddey could end up being one of the best moves of the summer. Caruso is nearly ten years older, and Giddey will be able to develop with a team that should allow him to have the ball in his hands even more than he did in Oklahoma City.
