My Take

Harry Giles III is a player I can't help rooting for. At 208 cm and once the consensus number-one high school prospect in America, the Duke product looked destined for stardom before knees betrayed him again and again, and a 20th overall pick never bloomed the way scouts dreamed. What moves me is that he didn't quit; he kept finding floors to play on, now with Jiangsu in China. The talent was always obvious, but it's the refusal to disappear that earns my respect. A man with that kind of stubborn resolve still has chapters left to write.
