I can't get enough of that GIF...The funniest part is the black guy in the white shirt who appears to be a neutral employee of some kind just grinning while the frat bros freak out...

And the ladies in the upper right when the sign gets thrown.. one in blue with the 'oops' face and the one behind her screaming 'FUCK YOU!'...

That GIF is phenomenal... seen it hundred times and NEVER caught that a sign was thrown until you pointed it out. Amazing.

yeah. the GIF that keeps on giving...

sorry. that just slipped out. i'm in a good mood this afternoon.
 
Giles did not play in the 2nd half of Duke's home game against Pitt, the league's last place team
 
Not saying Giles is a bust, too early for that, but how is anyone grading him out as a first rounder? What am I missing?!?
 
I'd grade him somewhere between scrub and donk.
 
I'm beginning to believe he won't be able to go pro this year. Have you seen anything this year that makes you think he can regain elite athleticism?
 
Coach K is deliberately sandbagging with Giles so that he has to come back next year.
 
Has Giles ever been skilled? I only saw him play 3 times his junior year, but he bricked his free throws and jump shots in those games.
 
The last thing that Giles is going to do and is come back to duke and risk erratic playing time and scouts poking holes in his game. He is going to jump to the NBA one minute after Duke loses in the tourney because he has built in excuses for his performance this year that he won't have next year. And there will be an NBA team who takes a flyer on him in the first round because he is all potential.
 
Draft Express has Giles being drafted ahead of JC. I know I'm looking through my black and gold lens glasses, but why would any team preferentially draft Giles over JC?

JC has proven value.
Giles is still potential.
 
Title change to LOL Giles/ nervous JC Draft watch? How screwed are we if Collins leaves after this year? Hopefully big Sam will show marked improvement next year.
 
The John Collins #2 PER thread has a lot of Collins draft speculation.

I haven't, but if someone is going to take him, then obviously he's got to go. McBob came back and fell out of the first round.
 
Giles' game relied a lot on athleticism. It can take more than a year to fully recover pre acl tear athletic ability (see Jabari Parker). Some guys never get it back, but many do. Multiple teams will be willing to take the chance on him.

I don't know why anyone would question Dook's ability to develop big men over the course of their college careers.
 
The OFFICIAL LOL at Harry Giles Thread

and the rest of duke for that matter...

We all need a little thread for laughter every now and then.

This team was considered the best group of freshman talent ever assembled.

Harry giles was touted as the best HS players since KD...

Id make a pretty good size bet that Harry never averages double digits in points or rebounds in the league....Am so glad we have John Collins over him.

shoot i like doral more just because hes not a headcase.

Kalipari showing Coach K that its not that easy, maybe k should stick to the 4 year floor slappers...

Who else thinks they flame out 1st or 2nd round this year? So much for Harry playing for that championship LOL
