Giddens carries Flash to the D-League Finals
Boston Celtics rookie J.R. Giddens knocked down a game-high 25 points and added 9 rebounds and 2 assists to crash the Dakota Wizards and put the Utah Flash in the D-League Finals for the 1st time in the club history. The Flash host the 14ers in Game One on Wednesday night (can be watched via futurecast).

Good game from Giddens
From my perspective, he’s pretty much a knowing quantity at this point: a very athletic rebounder, a ferocious open-court player and an amazing rebounder who needs to work very hard on his defensive fundamentals (he has potential but he’s too mistaken prone) and outside shooting, learning to cut and catch the ball with his knees flexed ready to initiate the shooting motion (as he moves very well off the ball) in order to find his niche in the NBA – as a wing defender and modest offensive player who knocks down open shots, cuts to the basket and finishes fastbreaks. I don’t think he can develop as a guard who plays on-the-ball as his ball-handling, decision making and shot-creation skills are far behind the minimum requirements at this level.

I don't think so
They weren’t ready/good enough.

we've been injured mainly at the 4/5
so how would Giddens or Walker at the 1/2/3 help us?
