A unanimous No. 1 high school prospect turned first round NBA Draft pick, at first glance, Harry Giles’ story seems to be one that’s been told many times before.
Unprecedented ball handling, athleticism, and length combine to make the 6-foot-11 forward a rarity on the hardwood – combine that with three surgical procedures, years of intense rehab, and an unmatched passion for the game, and there’s a lot more to Giles than what meets the eye.
“All people were talking about were my knees and not what kind of player I could be,” wrote Giles in an exclusive piece for The Players’ Tribune.
