Wondering which teams would be the best fit for the Duke Blue Devils’ Harry Giles in the 2017 NBA Draft? We’ve got you covered.

The 2017 NBA Draft is quickly approaching, and one of the biggest questions outside of the lottery is where former Duke Blue Devils’ center Harry Giles will end up.

Giles, who stands at 6’10 and weighs 240 pounds, is expected to be a late first-round or early second-round pick, and, at just 19 years old, will likely be taken by a team with either multiple picks in the draft or depth at the power forward/center positions. He has all the tools to be an NBA star, but they have yet to be on display against other elite players for NBA scouts.

While at Duke, Giles was hampered by injuries and did not even see the floor until December 19, playing four minutes in a win over the Tennessee State Tigers. His season totals were disappointing for this reason, as the former five-star recruit averaged 3.9 points and 3.8 rebounds over 11.5 minutes per game.

Because of his limited playing time and injuries last season, Giles is arguably the biggest unknown in the entire draft. Another year in school and Giles would likely be a lottery pick heading into the 2018 NBA Draft. Everything about this player physically screams NBA success, and there is no doubt in my mind that Giles goes somewhere in the first round — perhaps a bit earlier than most expect.

Here are the five NBA teams that would be the best fit for Duke’s Harry Giles.
