i'm pointing him out because he scores in transition because of his athleticism, something i could see JR doing out there.
And thousands of other guys.
great. now add that to other things does well, and you can see some people think he could contribute at the NBA level.
I had this conversation before and I won't have it again. To sum it up: the same can be said about thousands of players.
A few posts ago (1293 or so), you said one can't compare Courtney Lee with Rose. However, you seem to have no problem comparing Giddens to Lee. I find this puzzling. IMO, Lee is a much better player than Giddens - the gap between them being larger than the one between Lee and Rose (just in terms of their current level, not upside).
I think Giddens has some potential and can be a NBA role-player in due time, but right now, I don't see a great separation between him and, say, DeMarcus Nelson. If there is, I'd like to know what makes Giddens so much better. Unfortunately, I think I'd have to wait forever.
