Harry Giles is filling in the gaps

Ask any knowledgeable observer to chronicle the Kings’ inadequacies heading into the trade deadline and they’ll all cite the same list: a starting-caliber small forward, rim protection, and improved glass cleaning. There’s a reason Vlade Divac’s name has been attached to players like Enes Kanter, Otto Porter, and Harrison Barnes. The deficiencies in Sacramento’s roster are as glaring as their strengths, and opposing teams know exactly what to do to exploit those weaknesses: play a combo forward, attack the paint, and aggressively pursue offensive rebounds. The Kings are a franchise in the middle of a remodel, with several holes still remaining on the depth chart, but the recent play of Harry Giles has helped to fill several of those gaps.
