So to be a part of this is amazing and it's crazy how music bridges the gap. These songs have been hand-picked by me and the EVGLE team because we love to listen to them for inspiration. I like to think of myself as a tastemaker and each artist on this playlist is a different ingredient to the soundtrack of my lifestyle right now.”

The NBA is full of young talent and the Oklahoma City Thunder has a supply of it. In the 2021 NBA Draft, the team selected Josh Giddey with the sixth overall pick, surprising pundits unfamiliar with the Australian-born prospect's talent. But it didn't take long for the doubters to understand why Thunder chose him.

The 6-foot-9 point-forward is a magician with the ball in his hands, who commands the field with experienced maturity and poise. He excels at positioning his teammates to succeed and he's not afraid to smash into the glass to rack up rebounds. In his rookie season last year, Giddey averaged 12.5 points, 6.4 assists and 7.8 rebounds per game, and he showed no signs of slowing down in year two. During 76 starts in 2022–23, Giddey led the Thunder to a 40–42 record, averaging 16.6 points, 6.2 assists and 7.9 rebounds per game, and nearly earning his team a spot in the NBA Playoffs. No one expected him or the Thunder to have the success they did, but all eyes will be on the future of this franchise with Giddey as part of their dynamic backcourt.
