Boston Celtics: 3 free agents Cs must pursue with final roster spot

Boston Celtics free agent option No. 3) Harry Giles

One of the most important things for a front office to do is to try and bring on as many high-level talents and stars as possible for, after all, the modern-day NBA is run by a team’s star power.

That said, once an organization has managed to snag said talents, the next objective is to keep them happy.

Frankly, the idea of bringing on a guy like Harry Giles could, in theory, wind up checking off both these aforementioned boxes, for, not only does he have rather impressive potential that has yet to be untapped but, also, his addition could wind up making Boston’s franchise centerpiece, Jayson Tatum, much happier for the duo are close friends and former collegiate teammates.

The 20th overall selection back in the 2017 NBA Draft, Giles’ career hasn’t panned out the way many may have expected, as he holds averages of just 5.9 points, 3.8 boards, and 1.2 assists on 51 percent shooting from the floor.

That said, when delving a bit deeper into his numbers, per 75 possessions the power forward holds impressive averages a double-double of 16.2 points and 10.6 rebounds a night, which has many believing that, in the right environment and with the proper supporting cast, the former Duke star may be able to develop into a quality contributor in the frontcourt.

Still just 23-years-old, the power forward-needy Boston Celtics may want to bring in the youngster on a low-cost contract for his potential upside as well as for the camaraderie factor.
