Ezzahra Sports (ProA) tabbed experienced 35-year old American (has also Bahraini passport) 211cm center Chester Giles (college: Oregon State) for new season. Giles joins another USA player Walter Lemon Jr. who is already in the roster.
He played most recently at Al-Najma in Bahrain Premier League.
He also represented Bahrain at the Asian Championships in Manila (Philippines) eight years ago. His stats at that event were 2 games: 12.5ppg, 13.0rpg, 3.0bpg.
He is a very experienced player. Giles has played also professionally in China (Shaanxi), Indonesia (Pelita Jaya), Iraq (Duhok), Iran, Lebanon (Al Riyadi, Hoops and Amchit), Saudi Arabia, NBA G League (Sioux Falls S., Texas L. and Westchester Knicks), United Arab Emirates (Al Naser) and Philippines (Smart Gilas). His team made it to the League Semifinals in 2021. He was voted to Asia-Basket.com All-Bahrain League Center of the Year in 2014 and 2021.
It may be one of last seasons in his extensive career, which he may end at Ezzahra.
Giles attended Oregon State until 2008 and it will be his 14th (!!!) season in pro basketball.
