Game-high eight assists in win Giddey posted 17 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists across 29 minutes in Australia's 92-80 win over Spain in the Paris Olympics on Saturday. Impact Giddey stuffed the stat sheet while putting up a near triple-double in Saturday's win. The 21-year-old has become a focal point for Australia's offense, and his ability to distribute the ball has been encouraging as the Boomers face a plethora of challenges in a stacked Group A with remaining games against Canada and Greece. Giddey will likely continue to serve as one of the squad's main facilitators alongside veteran guard Patty Mills, and his ability to stuff the stat sheet will be crucial in the squad's remaining group-phase matchups.
