So much of the hype surrounding the Kings and this year’s NBA summer league centered on Harry Giles.
Drafted 20th overall in 2017 and held out his first season, Giles’ exploits in practice became stories of myth — because no one outside of the Kings’ organization saw much of what Giles did there.
The gist of what many within the organization said seemed to be, “just wait until you see Harry.”
Everyone saw Giles in summer league, and he gave everyone reason to begin to believe the hype. He showed he could impact games with his scoring, rebounding, passing and defense.
