Does anyone have any information on how he is doing this year. Since his nba comparison is Steve Nash, yeah right.
http://www.euroleague.net/ulebcup/n...E03&jornada=31&id=885&id2=865&id3=866&id4=867 He's averaging 13 points and 4 assists in 26 minutes a game for his Greek team (after 6 games played). Also shooting 42% 3 ptrs.
This is weird I show different stats and also a different league. http://www.galanissportsdata.com/basketball/mena1/season2004_05/a1teamrs.asp?t=02# HEBA Championship 2004-05 Division A1. After 9 games here are Vasilis Spanoulis’s stats: 15 PPG, 50 FG%, 39% 3P%, 80%FT, 2.1APG, 8 STL. He is 12th in the league in points, 7th in the league in turnovers, and doesn’t even register in assists.
From the stats it looks like he is a poor man’s Greek Steve Francis. His assist/turnover ratio is not very good. Even the shooting guard on their team has more assists then him. Looks like another PG that wants to be an SG.
One thing for sure is that the Rockets should not let JVG coach this guy. I've never seen a coach that is worse for young talent than JVG.
I do not really recall Boki Euro stats. Do you have them handy? I thought we drafted him more on his "potential" and because folks like D'antoni talked him and Skitsa up.
Yeah he could be a decent backup PG. But the problem with that is we already have 3 on our current team. We need to draft/trade for/sign a starting caliber PG (although solving the problem at PF in my opinion is more important).
Spanoulis is playing pretty well this season in Greece, but he isn't ready for the NBA yet. He is a playmaker, not a pure shooter, right now and is working on bringing himself under control. I have seen him play live a few times and I would pretty much disagree with the Steve Nash comparison. He is not a good enough shooter right now to be like a Steve Nash, not that he can't shoot at all though. I would compare him more to Tony Parker, who can have some amazing games when his shot is on, and then some rather poor ones when the shots arent falling. What has helped him, and continues to help him, is that he has a very good coach over in Greece that is definitely helping Spanoulis develop his game. I will be going back to Greece in a few weeks on business and hope to catch a game to see how his progress is coming along. If I do, I will defintely report back on what I see.
Charvo has the most salient point. I can't score on big guys in league play much either, but I can get them out of the way by drawing fouls and going to the lane...
The differnece between these 2 stats are that the first one is taken from the Euroleague, where it's the top Europeans clubs playing against each other, the second are the stats from the Greek league where only greek teams are concerned. If you win or come in second in the Greek league you get to play the Euroleague. I'd pay more attention to the the Euroleague stats as there is more competition and player want to shine. ALA
