Man, if your Mom made you wear that color when you were a baby, and you're still wearing it, it's time to grow up!
Will be exciting to see him on the floor. I was trying to think of other players who missed their senior year of high school. The only one I came up with was Shelden. As I recall, it took him until halfway through conference play before he really started to look comfortable out there.
It's like nine days later, plus it's a home game against a completely overmatched opponent. Just like with Tatum and Bolden, I think K will want to bring him back in a really low-stress kind of game for just a few minutes. If he's doing well then K may leave him in longer. Plus it's on the other side of Finals week, for whatever that's worth.
Beyond debut at home and easy opponent (although UNLV is pretty bad this year) as others have said, K wants to watch Giles in a few more full-contact 5-on-5 practices before he plays in games. With injuries and travel schedules those practices haven't happened much over the past few weeks. There should be some time for those between the 10th and 19th (even with exams).

UNLV was beaten by Arizona State who themselves were taken apart on TV the other day. I copied UNLV's top player stat line if it will line up properly here.

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
Erik Meek missed most of his senior season after being hit by a car. He was not very effective until his Junior year, though in fairness, he was not that highly ranked so he may never have been effective as a freshman/soph even without the accident.
Was Shelden's suspension because of the rape allegation against him? (IIRC that was dropped once he chose not to declare for the NBA draft out of high school...)
Never having seen Giles play, what can we expect from him versus Jefferson and Bolden if he comes back reasonably healthy?
