Rex what do you think is Giles potential now? I was really intrigued in him when he was in high-school. But I just been really unimpressed with his lack of explosion and athlecism since rehabilitating his knees. He reminds me if a poor man Christian Leattner.

While I agree his great athleticism is probably forever gone, he's still a decent NBA athlete.
I think he's underrated as a young big SKILLED guy. I think he has good BB IQ, good size, is mobile, surprisingly good vision and passing, good form and base to be an outside shooter, he actually hit mid range shots this season at a good clip, high FT%, and still developing. He's much younger then Silva.
For a 22YO, That's all I can ask from a cheap free agent. It's the best gamble I can find on the market at our price range, and I also think he might be able to Bam's backup (because of his size + mobility) while also being able to play next to Bam if his jumper proves legit.

He's not that weak or skinny, he actually garbed 10 boards per 36, which is almost as good as Bam and better then Kelly/Leonard. He's not an elite rebounder or shot blocker, but he might be well rounded enough to be decent.
