Seton Hall’s Angel Delgado to Test NBA Draft Waters
Seton Hall junior big man Angel Delgado
Duke freshman forward Harry Giles has announced that he will enter his name in the 2017 NBA Draft.
The 6-foot-10 Giles, who has undergone several knee procedures, is currently projected at No. 24 by DraftExpress.com.
“Not sure where he ends up,” one NBA executive said. “All depends on NBA medical staffs.”
Giles is the 11th Duke freshman to declare for the NBA Draft, days after teammate and close friend Jayson Tatum announced his intention to turn pro after one season in Durham. That duo joins a group that includes Corey Maggette (1999), Luol Deng (2004), Kyrie Irving (2011), Austin Rivers (2012), Jabari Parker (2014), Tyus Jones (2015), Jahlil Okafor (2015), Justise Winslow (2015) and Brandon Ingram (2016).
Kentucky freshmen De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk and Bam Adebayo all plan to huddle with coach John Calipari and their families before making decisions about the NBA Draft.
Monk is projected as the No. 5 pick by DraftExpress.com, while Fox is at No. 6 and Adebayo at No. 30.
“We’re just trying to get over this loss right now, and we’ll talk about it later on in the week,” Monk said following the team’s 75-73 loss to North Carolina in the Elite Eight on Sunday, according to the Herald-Leader.
Fox added: “I’m not thinking about that right now.”
An emotional Fox and Adebayo broke down in the locker room.
