Hang out at the players' hotel long enough and you'll run into a number of recognizable basketball faces. Frank Jackson ran into Duke associate head coach Jeff Capel in the lobby.
Chad Ford ESPN Senior Writer
Harry Giles draft range is still difficult to pin down. Kings have interest at 10. Blazers have strong interest at 15 & 20. Pacers looking at him at 18. Thunder at 21 another possibility. Most of the doctors who have seen his medicals have cleared him medically. Still, lots of risk adverse GMs out there. I think anywhere he goes from 10-21, he's a steal.
