I've changed my mind (conditionally).  If Harry agrees to adhere strictly to Lebron's PED-protocol, I will welcome him with open arms.  That should negate any possibility of ACL tears, rolled ankles, the common cold, etc.

They have him going 18th in latest mock draft.

His recent poor performances since coming back have no doubt concerned scouts.

As of now, it seems unlikely we will be using our Nets pick to draft him.

I still like the guy's athleticism, and would hope we would figure out a way to take him with another pick, maybe the 2 for 1 trade of first round picks with the 76ers.

I'm curious where he stands after he gets several games in. May not be top of the charts, but I don't think he's Skal, either.

If the draft was held today, giles would be drafted at the tail end of the lotto to late teens

But imo he is still rusty and not fully recovered from his surgery.  I would give it until the last 5 games of the season

I would be very surprised to see Ainge trade down in the draft.  If Ainge is intrigued enough with Giles, I could see him trying to move up to get him (the Minny 2nd and Yab, for example).  But my feeling is Brad doesn't want more than 2-3 rookies to develop per year (which seems pretty reasonable to me, especially considering he'll also have a handful of second and third year players as well), and with at least one of Yab and Zizic coming over next season, and probably both, acquiring a second first round pick in addition to the aforementioned rookies does not seem likely.

Especially if Yab and Zizic do both come over, that'd be three rookie bigs including Giles.  That either necessitates someone being glued to the bench or a lot of rookie mistakes on the defensive inferior.

I called him this years Skal Labissieri about a month ago and got lectured about how wrong I was. I still stabd by that statement. Giles will go mid to late mid first round

I was thinking this yesterday...

Let's say Philly improbably rallied into the playoffs (they are 6-1 in Embiid's last 7 games and are 13-26 - the same record Boston had two years ago before they went on a run)...

Then, let's assume the Kings stay in the bottom 10.   

Philly has swap-rights with the Kings so they'd get that pick.   How funny would it be if Harry Giles is clearly the best player available with their pick?  Another big man.

Aren't you supposed to be a Celtics fan? If anything, your thoughts should be on how we can trade future picks to take a flyer on Giles. So why are you even thinking about Philly? Why even bring them up in this topic? Let's try to have at least a few threads without Sixers talk on here. If you're not comfortable with that why don't you just post your many Sixers thoughts on an actual Sixers forum?

The Sixers are one of the most interesting stories in the NBA. People like to talk about interesting things. Besides its not cool to act like a boss and tell people what they can or can't talk about on a forum.

But we should be able to talk about Harry Giles and not have it turn into another Sixers thread.

Hopefully long gone before the 24th pick. Wouldn't want this guy to be the steal of the draft now..

It seems the NBA already has guys that can do what Giles does, I think the pundits were expecting the development of an outside shot or some type of range but it seems he's just the same bruiser he was in the u19s and the days of the Thomas Robinsons being top 5 picks are over.

No one is stopping you and no one responded to Larbrd until someone felt the need to boss him and lecture him. It's just getting kind of over played. The personal attacks on Larbrd.

My post was very relevant because there's a scenario where the best player available to Philly would be Giles and they'd basically have to trade him, right?... perhaps to a team like Boston.
