Giddey has been spending plenty of time in the gym this off-season to ensure his body can withstand the rigours of a marathon 82-game NBA season. “Yeah the body’s feeling good, ready to go,” he said. “We’ve got a great medical staff here and they take great care of all of us. They’ve been great with me, just finetuning things I need to with my body. Obviously taking care of that hip last year was important. “I’ve spent a lot of time in the weight room making sure those little niggles that happen throughout the year can be prevented as much as possible and I can get through a healthy 82 games. “It’s a long season so taking care of your body is a really important part of being an NBA player.”

The one criticism of Giddey’s game so far has been his shooting and ability to hit the scoreboard. But that could change after legendary shooting guru Chip Engelland joined the Thunder this off-season as an assistant coach after a long stint at the San Antonio Spurs. “Shooting was a big one for me this off-season,” Giddey said. “Spent a lot of time in the gym getting up shots. Obviously having Chip England here — one of the best shooting coaches if not the best in the world — here at the Thunder is someone that’s perfect for me to use as much as possible. He’s been great.” Asked if Engelland has tweaked his shooting style at all, Giddey said: “Not really. Chip’s hard to explain. He’s a wizard with what he does. -via news.com.au / September 14, 2022
