Former Duke basketball one-and-done Harry Giles has shown some potential both last season and this season with the Sacramento Kings (he did not see the court his first year out of Duke). He’s always been a fan-favorite. And his boxscores have seen a boost in the past few weeks. On the other hand, in terms of averages, most all of his stats have decreased a bit from last season.
Along with fellow Duke product Marvin Bagley III, the 6-foot-11, 240-pound former five-star recruit from Winston Salem, N.C., is part of a youth movement in Sacramento. But just as was the case during his brief stint as a Blue Devil — Giles arrived in Durham with knee issues stemming from multiple injuries in high school — consistency and durability remain question marks for the 21-year-old.
