In a significant trade, the Chicago Bulls dealt All-Defensive guard Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for rising star Josh Giddey. The Australian guard, selected sixth overall in the 2021 NBA Draft, has quickly become a vital part of the Bulls' lineup, starting every game he's played this season. Giddey's all-around contributions were highlighted in a recent matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, where he nearly recorded a triple-double.

In that game, Giddey tallied 10 rebounds, marking his 13th game this season with at least that many, the most by a Bulls guard since Michael Jordan's 14 in the 1992-93 season. Impressively, Giddey is averaging 7.4 rebounds per game, outpacing Jordan's average from that season, showcasing his potential to become a franchise cornerstone.
