Josh Giddey is now Australia's leading NBA player this season.

Josh Giddey is Australia's leading NBA player, a 24-year-old Chicago Bulls guard in his second year of a four-year, $100 million contract who is close to Michael Jordan's franchise record for triple-doubles.

Giddey recovered from off-season ankle surgery and is ready for a major impact season under new coach Tiago Splitter. Draft pick Caleb Wilson is joining the Bulls' roster.
