The Portland Trail Blazers signed free agent forward/center Harry Giles today.
It is reportedly a one-year deal.
The 6-foot-11, 240 pound 22-year-old played for the Sacramento Kings in the 2019-20 season, and averaged 6.9 points (55.4% FG, 77.6% FT), 4.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 14.5 minutes in 46 games (17 starts). He scored in double figures 15 times during the season, including a game in August against the Orlando Magic where he produced 23 points and eight rebounds in 20 minutes.
In two NBA seasons, both with the Kings, Giles has a career average of 7.0 points (52.4% FG, 68.6% FT), 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 14.3 minutes in 104 games (17 starts).
Originally drafted out of Duke by the Trail Blazers with the 20th pick of the 2017 NBA Draft, Giles’ draft rights were included in a draft-night trade to the Kings for the draft rights to Zach Collins.
He will wear No. 10 for the Trail Blazers.
