The thing that stands out to me about Giddey is his main way to create offense for himself is by driving the ball against smaller defenders. He drives often, but hasn't scored well enough on those drives. 98th percentile in drive rate and 31st percentile in drive efficiency.

I try to share all Thinking Basketball videos when they post new ones. So informative and well put together to help show how the game is evolving.

Many from the Balkans

Zvonimir Ivisic - Vodice, Croatia
Tomislav Ivisic - Vodice, Croatia
David Mirkovic - Niksic, Montenegro
Mihailo Petrovic - Prokuplje, Serbia
Andrej Stojakovic - Carmichael, CA (Peja's kid)

And now with Tomislav Ivisic in for his twin brother Zvonimir Ivisic, you can see how that two man game can work with Mihailo Petrovic.

Tomislav is a good passer and decision maker out of the short roll.

Mihailo Petrovic can't miss.

The nice thing about Zvonimir Ivišić is he can roll to the basket or shoot the three.

Petrovic being dynamic with the ball rejects the screen with the crossover and drives drawing help and generating a Big Z three

Mihailo Petrovic with the assist to big Z on the roll. UTRGV has been aggressive helping on the dribble drive and Big Z gets in to deep. Nice two man game between Petrovic and Z Ivisic

The Mihailo Petrovic crossover has been lethal tonight

Nothing flashy here, just making the right read and feeding big Z as soon as he has the advantage on the roll.

A lot of Illini offense has been stationary 5-out iso dribble drive, so nice to see Petrovic being able to come in and provide a different look utilizing the ball screen.
