Harry Giles is on his way to Duke and sooner than a lot of people think: he'll arrive in Durham in nine days, on May 17th (he's been here for rehab but we mean that he'll start school then).

Here's a great article from the Winston-Salem Journal's John Dell on the rising star as he prepares for college ball. Lots of good stuff in here, but the best quote is probably by Coach K:"They don’t come around very often. He’s 6-10 or 6-11, and he’s not a position. There are players who are 6-4 or 6-5 or can play a lot of positions, and Harry can play every position. He can pretty much guard every position. He has an amazing attitude about the game and loves it."
At Duke, in a bit of a recent tradition, Giles will wear #1. He's just the third player to do so, behind one-and-dones Kyrie Irving and Jabari Parker.
Jayson Tatum will wear #0, Frank Jackson #15, Javin DeLaurier #12 and White #41.
We've seen DeLaurier listed as Montgomery-DeLaurier, which would be a huge name to put on a jersey.
On Twitter, Duke basketball lists him as just DeLaurier, but even there his name curves more than anyone else's.
