Taylor, I think it's going to be a clear backup this year with DJ Giddens, who was the 2025 fifthround pick where there was a little bit of steam last offseason about Giddens with the beat reporters, how he sort of handled carried himself like he was a starter has really plus athleticism coming out of Kansas State... I think Giddens moves into like fun handcuff range... I'd argue that his upside might be similar to a guy like a Pacheco or a Bsby just because of the the raw athleticism that he brings to the table.
