While many questioned the move, and some still do, the young guard shined in his debut season with the Bulls.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_urqrp1wwn\">This past season, Giddey averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game with 46.5\/37.8\/78.1 shooting splits. However, now Giddey is in restricted free agency, and his future with the Bulls is cloudy.<\/p>\n<p data-mm-id=\"_urqrp1wwn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images2.minutemediacdn.com\/image\/upload\/c_crop,w_3444,h_2296,x_0,y_0\/c_fill,w_620,ar_3:2,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto\/images\/ImagnImages\/mmsport\/bulls_news\/01k05et3r6hg8xbzr325.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"\" data-mm-id=\"_qhbfoqmdz\">\n<p>Apr 9, 2025; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Bulls guard Josh Giddey (3) gestures after making a three point basket against the Miami Heat during the second half at United Center.
