Is this the same Giles that was killing it for the Kings but injuries derailed him?

He's a notable example of the youth injury epidemic. There's no way someone that young should have that many knee problems. I really want to see him figure it out and succeed, but it seems this trainers/doctors are pretty clueless, too.

OK so I just read they are waving Dylan Windler in order to make this move.

Best of luck, Dylan!

Did anyone know what happen to Hassan Whiteside? Injuries or legal issues.

His last year in the league, he was a solid back-up big body Center that played behind Gobert.

Curious to see what Phil Handy can do with Harry.

He had handles in highschool.

Harry Giles III could have been one of the next great big men in the league, but his leg injuries derailed all of that.







I'd love for him to somehow find himself here, but I won't hold my breath. If Phil Handy accomplishes that with him he deserves a statue.

He seems more like a project pick up. Rather than a guy who can play spot minutes now...

I'm surprise Wenyen Gabriel is still out there. He's a solid high motor end of the bench guy who can give you a productive 5-15mpg who has familiarity with the Lakers.
