He's just a name at this point. Hasn't done anything significant in a while.
For the season, 18 games in, he's got 19 combined blocks/steals/assists. He basically just grabs rebounds for Duke.

I think Giles will atleast be a decent player but he has major health concerns and could suffer another knee injury like Parker. Hopefully some team gambles on Giles in the lottery.Spoiler:
If he could develop a jumpshot...

No draft pick is guaranteed to be a great or bad NBA player yet most people think we're incapable of drafting a great player since we'll most likely be picking at #16. I mean 2 of our best players on this team are second round picks. The draft is about picking the best potential NBA player not the best college player.

If this guy were 7'1 instead of 6'8, he'd be a Top 3 pick. Franchise-altering center, even.

Watched a Purdue v Michigan State game from a few weeks ago. Swanigan and Bridges were both hot from three. Bridges is kinda like a worse defense better scoring Winslow. Swanigan is a threat in the pick and pop but is low volume and spends most of his time playing like a back to the basket center, which won't fit Spo's system.
Perhaps best option would be a draft night trade. I wish we could geta guy like Crowder on a great contract but our pick is getting too low. Probably can get a young player who wasn't put it together yet like Stanimal or Oubre, maybe Dekker could be attainable.

I'm kinda meh about the entire 10-20 range. Williams, Giles, Leaf, Rabb, Hartenstein, Bridges, Adebayo, none of them are that exciting. I think our best hope is Markkanen slipping through somehow.
