Giles competed in four of the five exhibition events for the 2008 3BA national summer tour. He averaged 22.0 points per game and 16 rebounds per game.

“The 3BA game is generally a guard, shooting guard and small forward game but occasionally there is a power forward who can move his feet and run the floor well and be a great contributor to any 3BA team” said 3BA game creator Kevin LuBahn.

“CJ Giles is one of those exceptions and we wish him well in his first season with the NBA and hope he will be back to continue to work on his speed, stamina and skills next season on the 2009 3BA Tour”.
