Chester Jarrel "C. J." Giles, Jr. (born September 25, 1985) is an American-Bahraini professional basketball player for Al-Ahli of the Bahraini Premier League. He played high school basketball for Rainier Beach High School and college basketball for the University of Kansas and Oregon State University.
After completing his freshman and sophomore seasons at Kansas, Giles was dismissed from the school in November 2006 due to "irresponsible behavior and disrespect for team rules."
In January 2007, Giles transferred to Oregon State where he began practising with the Beavers but could not play due to NCAA transfer regulations. However, after managing just 10 games for Oregon State in 2007–08, he was again dismissed from the team after showing up late to practices. In April 2008, he declared as an early entry candidate for the 2008 NBA draft, foregoing his final year of college eligibility.
After going undrafted in the 2008 NBA draft, Giles joined the Toronto Raptors for the 2008 NBA Summer League. On September 12, 2008, he signed with the Los Angeles Lakers. However, he was later waived by the Lakers on October 22, 2008. On December 16, 2008, he was acquired by the Los Angeles D-Fenders. On March 5, 2009, he was traded to the Sioux Falls Skyforce in exchange for Earl Barron.
In May 2009, Giles joined Smart Gilas as their foreign player for the 2009 FIBA Asia Champions Cup.
