J.R Giddens deserves some respect.

This topic’s funny. I’ll vote for the last option.

why did danny draft him if he is so bad?

Know one on here truly knows if JR has a NBA game or not. At best we are all guessing. That fact is sad because if Doc would give them game time we would not have this disagreement.

been a jr giddens fan and a bill walker fan both are great athletes i think they have a good shot at being key parts of this team im 300 percent sure jr will be more productive then scal .. if he plays that sf spot wich he should he will have a solid game my prediction 15 pts 6 reb 3 stl and a blocked shot he has a ton of energy he will hustle out there and for these ppl who say get rid of giddens or walker are crazy

Suprisingly ( or maybe it makes sense), ever since he didn’t get renewed it seems like he’s far more focused, is playing defense with less frenetic, frantic movement and more focused and efficient effectiveness and has looked much better on offense, selecting his spots. I know he only has had spot minutes but he is a completely different player in those spot minutes from the one I used to see. Maybe he needed the scare or something.

I really like Gidden’s size speed and strength at the off gaurd position. If he pulls it all together I see him being able to have a real physical impact from that spot. I’ve always liked Giddens. Just wanted him to slow down and relax a little. He has the tools.

I’m now wondering if maybe we didn’t renew him at just the wrong time. If he continues to improve I’m hoping we can still re-sign him if his play merits we do that. And that we don’t lose him to some other team.

…we don’t lose him to some other team for nothing…just as he’s starting to take off. Because if he can fogure tou the game mentally he has all the tools to be a good defender, rebounder, scorer and fast break threat from the two guard spot. I don’t see him ever being a great passer. Could turn into a good two guard back up in the short term, perhpas more than that in the long term.

Best of all, he has the one quality that so often is lacking. Real intensity and desire to put forth the effort every night.

The guy has a major motor.

Wishing him the best in trying to realise his potential at this level. Didn’t he have like 15 boards in one pre-season game?

giddens needs to run him through the ground if its anytime to prove himself its now! if he steps up and has a solid game i dont expect anything spectacular but to be under this pressure n pull through will show doc n earn himself an actual role on this team.. we can bash doc all we want bout not giving or prospects minutes.. he goes for the vets already proved themselfs and knows what they bring to the team..example is marquise daniels eddie house role players.. we singed daniels cuz we needed a point gaurd and some legnth off the bench.. and eddie house shoots 3’s gives us that spark off the bench.. u know whut ur guna get with role players they have proved themself in the nba.. but we are realy trying to win that home court . maybe doc will decide for the younger players to get more minutes towards postseason

You guys are a Joke!

You haven’t probably seen this guy play 6 minutes of basketball and you’ve assumed he is a bust.

Well guess what……. he held Turkoglu to 12 points tonight. Remember that Rookies and second year players don’t dare shoot the ball when you play for Doc.

He is a terrific defensive player and next time watch the NBDL games to see our young players because it takes for ever to see them with Doc in charge.

In addition, both TA and Scal also guarded Hedo tonight. Giddens didn’t do anything to hurt the team tonight when he played, so that was good. He won’t be on the roster next year and maybe will be gone before this year ends.
