The 7’9″ redshirt freshman from Quebec, Canada, made plenty of headlines without playing a single minute last season, due almost exclusively to his freakish height.
He was seen cutting the nets down at the NCAA Tournament back in April without a ladder, and even earned a walk-on tryout for the football team to be on the field goal block unit.

The Bulls are 6-1. There are many reasons for their quick turnaround from last season, but the number one reason is Josh Giddey.
Giddey is averaging 23/10/9; only Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic share those stats this season. But Giddey is doing it in fewer minutes, while also shooting over 40% from three.
