Mike Krzyzewski had this to say about Harry Giles “With his uplifting personality, love for the game, talent and work ethic, Harry is a joy to coach,” Krzyzewski said. “He should prove to be a great selection for the Sacramento Kings because he is only beginning to scratch the surface of how good he can be on a basketball court. The further removed he becomes from his injuries, the more accelerated his progress toward a great NBA career will be.” "according to http://www.goduke.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=22724&SPID=1845&DB_LANG=C&ATCLID=211634691&DB_OEM_ID=4200

He was integral in Duke's historic four-day run to the ACC Tournament championship, where he posted six points, seven rebounds and four blocks in the win over sixth-ranked North Carolina in the semifinals.
