Player #3: Harry Giles

Arguably the player that most Sacramento Kings fans are hoping will breakout. No more training wheels, it is time to fully unleash Harry Giles and see what kind of impact he can bring to the Kings.

For Giles, he has endured a lot. Before suffering multiple knee injuries, he was considered one of the best players in his high school class and a future star in the making.

But even though Harry has been fully healthy, the Kings have still been cautious with him which has resulted in the young King to have a limited role with the team, despite the tremendous potential that he possesses.

Now entering year number three, it is time for Sacramento to get a full perspective on whether Giles is a guy that is part of their future. There is pressure for Giles to have a productive year. If so, that is great. A Harry Giles that plays to his potential just adds another player to the franchise’s main core.

But if Giles does have another so-so season, then the Kings have to question whether he is a player to rely on going forward even though he is beloved by their fans.

All the talent is there for Giles to become a great player in the NBA, but he needs to show that promise this upcoming season. Finding out what Giles is made of will be one of the most exciting things for Kings fans to watch for during the campaign.
