Pacers Draft Prep: Harry Giles is a big risk

Related Topics: NBA draft, Risk, Knee

It’s been an interesting ride for Harry Giles. He’s torn his ACL twice since 2013. He was the number one recruit in the class of 2016, and chose to attend Duke University. Mainly because of his nagging knee injuries, Giles put together an underwhelming season at Duke.

Giles averaged just 3.9 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. He played a minimal role, averaging 11.5 minutes per game. Despite the low numbers, Giles declared for the 2017 NBA Draft and is still expected to be picked in the first round.

Strengths

Despite the injuries, Giles is still gifted with tremendous athletic ability.
