Duke's Harry Giles declares for NBA draft

Mark Dolejs-USA TODAY Sports

Harry Giles' career at Duke didn't last long.

The Blue Devils forward has declared for the 2017 NBA Draft, the team announced in a statement Tuesday.

Giles was the No. 1 recruit in the 2016 class, but he didn't make a big impression in his lone college campaign. Injuries forced the 6-foot-10 forward to delay his debut until late-December and Giles only averaged 11 minutes in Mike Krzyzewski's rotation.

While his 3.9 points per game are underwhelming, Giles unquestionably has the size and skill to be a first-round selection, but the question is how high will he go?

Giles has a history of knee issues and suffered a pair of torn ACLs before arriving at Duke.
