In a recent interview with NBA Australia’s “Courtside Huddle,” Oklahoma City Thunder guard Josh Giddey revealed that the main goal for next season is being a playoff team.
“Hopefully the playoffs,” said Giddey. “That’s what we all want. We’ve got a hungry group, we’ve got a young group, but the direction we’re headed in is really good. Everyone’s on the same page, so I think the playoffs is a really realistic thing for us.”
The Thunder went 24-58 last season, so making the playoffs would be quite the jump for the young core of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Giddey and whoever the team drafts second overall in the 2022 NBA draft. But Giddey surely doesn’t lack confidence, which is a great trait to have for a professional athlete as it will push him to get better.
