Harry Giles put up a solid defensive outing Friday night with two blocks and a steal over 22 minutes of relief. He only scored 2 points but he contributed offensively with six assists, a career-high for the young forward.
Fantasy Impact
Giles has shown a lot of promise in his second year, but unfortunately the opportunity hasn't been there. Dewayne Dedmon is getting 17.6 minutes per game and GIles is getting 13 in January. Most people were expecting to see a big uptick in minutes with the injury to Richaun Holmes, but that hasn't been the case as he and Dedmon have been sharing duties in the paint. If Dedmon is moved before the trade deadline, that could suddenly thrust Giles into the realm of fantasy relevance but for now he's best kept on your league's waiver wire.
