Draft Scouting Report
Rating: 76.98 (Reserve/backup)
Pro Comparison: Isaiah Crowell
Summary
DJ Giddens is a taller, well-built back with rare lateral agility for his size. He excels at making sharp, NBA-like cuts to free himself, often stringing multiple moves together. Best with a lead blocker, he shows patience but can be inconsistent in his vision. While elusive in tight spaces, he lacks true breakaway speed and often relies on cutbacks rather than outrunning defenders. His contact balance and power are solid but not overwhelming, and drops limit his reliability as a receiver. Giddens' unique blend of size and lateral quickness make him an intriguing prospect with room to grow.
