3.) Harry Giles, Duke

Arguably the biggest question mark of the whole 2017 NBA Draft, where Harry Giles will go in the draft will be impossible to predict.

Assuming that Giles does come out of college, the once elite talent could go anywhere from 7-30 overall in the first round. The two major knee injuries have taken a toll on Giles as the kid has taken all year to adjust back to the game of basketball.

Even after being back healthy, Giles has found sporadic minutes in the lineup in Duke’s latest surge up the standings. But all things considered, Giles was the overwhelmingly top talent coming out of high school and if found by the right NBA team, could tap into a spring of potential.

For Dallas, if they are sitting with a pick around 12-15, taking the chance on a talent like Giles could be an option. This is why fans need to keep an eye on Duke in the tournament.

Giles and Duke are coming off an ACC Tournament championship where they landed a two seed in the NCAA Tournament. They will open up against Troy on Friday, March 17th.
