But the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-harry-giles-one-year-contract" rel="noopener">Nets weren’t the only team</a> looking to acquire Giles’ services.</p><p>Giles <a href="https://www.sny.tv/articles/nets-signing-harry-giles-to-one-year-contract-reports" rel="noopener">reportedly chose</a> the Nets over two “strong suitors,” via Ian Begley and Garrett Stepien of SNY. While the other suitors weren’t named, Brooklyn had reportedly kept tabs on Giles throughout the offseason, his agent told SNY. With a consistent level of interest and a potential roster spot, Giles felt the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-8-best-free-agent-signings-in-franchise-history-ranked" rel="noopener">Nets were the best</a> landing spot for him.</p><p>Standing 6’10”, Giles might have an actual chance to make the final Brooklyn roster as it’s currently devoid of height. The Nets have only four players that are 6’10” or taller, as Begley and Stepien point out. One of them is Ben Simmons, who is likely to handle the rock in a guard role.</p><p>Giles’ contract with the Nets marks his return to the NBA. He spent the 2022 season playing for the Los Angeles Clippers’ G-League affiliate before suffering a season-ending injury. When he last saw NBA minutes, Giles was a member of the Portland Trail Blazers in 2021. He averaged 2.8 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.</p><p>But despite his injury and relative under-performance with the Blazers, Brooklyn has remained interested. After signing him to a contract, the Nets will get a closer look on what Giles can bring to the table. If Giles can prove he can still compete against NBA competition and can be a force in the paint, perhaps he can carve out a role in the Nets’ rotation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

After working out in front of teams in Las Vegas this summer and after recently <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-ex-players-kent-bazemore-juan-toscano-anderson-free-agent-workouts" rel="noopener">working out for the Golden State Warriors</a>, he now gets another chance to prove himself.</p><p>In 142 career games with the Sacramento Kings and Trail Blazers, Giles has averaged 5.9 points and 3.8 rebounds per game while shooting 51.1 percent from the floor.</p><p>Injuries have severely limited Giles through the years. He tore his right ACL before attending Duke in 2016 and he missed time during his rookie season in Sacramento due to knee problems. Giles was never able to stay healthy and be an impactful player with the Kings, which is why they decided to let him become a free agent following the first two seasons of his rookie deal.</p><p>When healthy, Giles has shown flashes of his potential as a stretch big man in today’s NBA, but his ongoing knee issues have been the main concern for teams around the league. Finally healthy this offseason and proving that he still has what it takes, the once five-star recruit will now fight for a roster spot in Brooklyn.</p><p>With all 15 roster spots currently being occupied, Giles could be in the running for a two-way contract with the Nets. Armoni Brooks and Jalen Wilson are the only two players who signed two-way deals with Brooklyn and teams are now allowed to carry three players on two-way contracts. A <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-news-jayson-tatum-move-help-out-duke-teammate-new-cba" rel="noopener">new provision</a> in the league’s CBA also allows a player such as Giles to play on a two-way deal since he missed a ton of time and seasons due to injury.</p><p>While his contract details have not been released, it is likely that the former first-round pick has signed a non-guaranteed training camp deal with the team. Giles now joins a frontcourt with Nicolas Claxton, Day’Ron Sharpe and rookie first-round pick Noah Clowney.</p><p>The Nets find themselves in an interesting spot entering the 2023-24 season, as they have entered a new era after dealing Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving ahead of the 2023 trade deadline. Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson are now the leaders of this organization, one that does not necessarily have a clear path moving forward.</p><p>Potential does exist on this roster, yet the Nets do not have an All-Star talent to lead them. This will likely result in them taking a step back in the Eastern Conference this upcoming year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Now, after the Warriors failed to live up to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-culprits-to-blame-early-exit-after-falling-to-lakers" rel="noopener">expectations this past year</a>, much of the same criticism is beginning to reappear for this franchise.</p><p>The 2022-23 season was a major letdown for the Warriors, there is no denying this. There was drama stemming from <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-draymond-green-insight-into-infamous-knockout-blow-to-jordan-poole" rel="noopener">Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole</a>, they dealt with key talents being in and out of the lineups during the regular season and this organization as a whole just did not look motivated with the same level of passion we are used to seeing them fight with.</p><p>Perhaps Golden State needed this wake up call during this past year, as they are prepared to enter the 2023-24 season with new energy and the only one thing on their minds is competing for a championship.</p><p>New GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. has done a nice job of filling in some gaps this roster had in the offseason, as veteran guards Chris Paul and Cory Joseph have joined the mix in the backcourt, along with Dario Saric being added to the frontcourt. However, the Warriors still have two vacant roster spots, one of which they will need to fill before the start of the new season.</p><p>On Tuesday evening, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that the team will be hosting <a href="https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1689068243040755712?s=20" rel="noopener">free agent workouts</a> with veterans Dion Waiters, Tony Snell, Trey Burke, Kent Bazemore, Harry Giles and Juan Toscano-Anderson over the next two weeks.</p><p>Maybe none of these experienced players will end up securing a roster spot with the Warriors this upcoming season, but Giles and Toscano-Anderson are two names that definitely stick out. Fans of the team will be familiar with JTA, as he was a great locker room presence and bench talent with the Warriors for three seasons. As for Giles, he’s a former first-round pick that is looking to prove that he still has what it takes to play in the league after some major injuries.</p><p>It is unlikely that anyone the Warriors potentially sign this late in the offseason will hold that big of a role during the upcoming season, but Giles and Toscano-Anderson could be exactly what this team needs to make another championship run.</p><h2><b>Examining Harry Giles’ fit with Warriors</b></h2><p>Once a top recruit coming out of high school in 2016, Harry Giles’ basketball career has been plagued by injuries. He tore his right ACL before attending Duke and then he had another surgery done on his knee in college. Drafted 20th overall in 2017, he began his NBA career with the Sacramento Kings and continued to miss time due to knee soreness and injuries.</p><p>After just two years with Sacramento, the team declined Giles’ contract option and he signed with the Portland Trail Blazers ahead of the 2020-21 season. He was never really able to showcase his abilities with the Blazers, which has led to Giles being out of the league and hunting for his next opportunity.</p><p>Obviously there is a lot of concern surrounding a player like this given his injury history and the fact that he has not played in the NBA last couple of years, but there is certainly a level of intrigue here. Giles is a 6’11” big man who can stretch his game outside of the paint and from a contract perspective, any team looking to sign him has some options.</p><p>In addition to being able to sign a standard contract, Giles is eligible to sign a two-way contract for the upcoming season given a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celtics-news-jayson-tatum-move-help-out-duke-teammate-new-cba" rel="noopener">new provision</a> in the league’s latest collective bargaining agreement. This is certainly an avenue the Warriors could explore not only since they have two open two-way contract spots to fill, but also because they need frontcourt depth.</p><p>Should Giles ultimately agree to some sort of deal with the Warriors, he will become the tallest player on their roster, a title currently held by Dario Saric at 6’10”.</p><p>The Warriors have always been known for having a terrific medical and training staff, which is why they may be the best chance Giles has of making it back into the league. By no means would he sign a contract and instantly become a huge part of the team’s rotation, but he presents some upside and fits a positional need Golden State has at this point in the offseason.</p><h2><b>Examining Juan Toscano-Anderson’s fit with Warriors</b></h2><p>One of the reasons why the Warriors have been so successful over the last decade is because they constructed a system in which the players, coaches, staff members and executives all believe in one another. The Warriors may just have the best family-like atmosphere in the entire NBA and they take a lot of pride in this.</p><p>Through the years, Golden State has seen a lot of talent develop and rise up through the Santa Cruz Warriors, their G League affiliates. One of these players was Juan Toscano-Anderson, an undrafted player who earned an opportunity in the G League after spending time in Venezuela and Mexico to begin his professional career.</p><p>When he caught the attention of the Warriors’ front office, JTA earned himself a three-year deal in 2020 and he instantly became a favorite in the locker room. He was a voice of reason, a best friend to many and perhaps Toscano-Anderson’s greatest quality is that he wanted to be a Warrior due to being born in and growing up in the Oakland/San Francisco area.</p><p>Toscano-Anderson instantly resonated with the fan base when he stepped on the floor and despite his numbers not showing this, he was a high-impact player. Energy and effort are two words that come to mind when watching him play and JTA did a bunch of little things to help put the Warriors in a championship position during the 2021-22 season.</p><p>The veterans of the team in Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Kevon Looney would welcome Toscano-Anderson back with open arms, Steve Kerr would be happy to have him back and most importantly, the Warriors would have another scrappy player who they are already familiar with, similar to what they have already in Gary Payton II.</p><p>Familiarity and comfortability bring out the best in any player and for Toscano-Anderson, there would be no better place for him to continue his career than with the Warriors. Out of all the veteran free agents they are bringing in for workouts, he makes the most sense filling the 14th or 15th roster spot they have.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Why Harry Giles, Juan Toscano-Anderson make the most sense for Warriors’ vacant roster spots

Encouragingly, he’s been mostly healthy since then. He played 58 games in his second season, averaging 7.0 points per game.</p><p>In 2019-20, Giles appeared in 46 games (17 starts), and put up 6.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in 14.5 minutes per game. He shot 55.4% from the field — a notable year-to-year uptick.</p><p>Prior to the 2019-20 regular season, former Kings GM Vlade Divac <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/kings-news-sacramento-declines-3-97-million-team-option-on-harry-giles/">surpisingly declined Giles’ fourth-year option</a> for 2020-21.</p><p>The monetary details of Giles’ deal with Portland have yet to be reported.</p><p>Blazers GM Neil Olshey has clearly focused on adding depth coming off an injury-riddled 2019-20 campaign, and Giles provides another frontcourt body behind <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/jusuf-nurkic/bf830ad7/">Jusuf Nurkic</a> and Zach Collins in the rotation.</p><p>So far this offseason, Portland has traded for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/players/robert-covington/b8390a0f/">Robert Covington</a>, brought back center Enes Kanter, re-signed Rodney Hood (2 years, $10 million) and Carmelo Anthony, and signed high-flyer Derrick Jones Jr.</p><p>Giles is worth taking a flyer on considering the newfound depth in Terry Stotts’ rotation. He doesn’t project as a star, but if he can see consistent opportunities, the one-time top prospect could carve out a role as a valuable contributor for a contender.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
