The Los Angeles Lakers are dealing with front-court depth issues as backup centers Christian Wood and Jaxson Hayes have been inconsistent. Injuries to Wood and Colin Castleton have led them to sign former top prospect Harry Giles to a two-way deal.
Giles fits the Lakers' strategy of taking chances on talent that hasn't panned out in the NBA. Expectations are minimal, but it's a low-risk, high-reward move for the team.
