If we exclude Kyrie Irving (which we are for the purpose of this exercise), there are 14 Aussies across the NBA, from seasoned veterans like Patty Mills to fresh-faced rookies like Johnny Furphy.
We're considering a mix of their proven track record, current form, and overall ability to comprehensively assess their standing against one another.
2. 2. Josh Giddey
Giddey had fallen well out of favour at OKC where there were several players fighting for the same position, so his move to Chicago opened up plenty of opportunities for him. He is putting up great stats across the board and has significantly improved his three point shooting percentage. His downfall lies in his defensive abilities with the Bulls going as far as to bench him in games that go down to the wire so teams cannot exploit his poor defensive efforts. Giddey still remains as one of our best performers in the league regardless of his lack of defensive skills.
