Josh Giddey's performance for the Bulls so far

Traded by the Thunder to the Bulls for Alex Caruso, many doubted the deal when it was announced. Bulls fans were unhappy to lose one of the league's best role players in exchange for a young player with off-court concerns.

Despite this huge concern, the higher-ups in Chicago were convinced of Giddey's ability, as they hoped to get a long-term replacement for Lonzo Ball. Ball's injuries have deprived the team of a quick ball-handling guard, and the former OKC man seems to fit right into this void.

Although Giddey's tenure didn't start in the best light, with him only averaging 10.6 points in his first ten games, the guard began building his form. While he is averaging just 12.1 points right now, it shows his growth.

Furthermore, the star played 32 minutes against the Nets on Monday night, which was the most by any player in the starting five. This extended playing period has worked well for Giddey, who is finally becoming an important player within the Bulls' line-up.
