Why only follow Papa, might as well focus on others when he's not shooting..want to know if others hit their shots too!!
Please allow me to preface..."poor man" Peja, and never meant to disrespect your next of kin. When using Peja as an example, I wanted to cite players that Kostas idolized growing up. Spoiler http://www.blazersedge.com/2013/3/2...rospect-kostas-papanikolaou-dreams-of-playing And you ask why Peja is someone he looks up too?? Peja lived in Greece since the age of 16, and played professional ball in Greece. As a Houston Rocket, his primary goal is to be a shooter and make shots. Doing so could net him playing time. Your sarcasm is duly noted; that doesnt change the fact that poorman's version of Peja could be his career peak.
Because more people aren't familiar with him...seeing Terry make or miss shots in one practice isn't really going to affect what people think.
The official translation of Papa's 1st blog entry is up on rockets.com http://www.nba.com/rockets/news/kostas-papanikolaou-blog-entry-1 We can all laugh at the google translate version Kostas Papanikolaou Blog: Entry 1 Transitioning to Houston, Meeting Teammates and Finding Fellow Greeks Posted: Sep 30, 2014 Kostas Papanikolaou made his blog debut with NBA GREECE and he will be sharing his thoughts and photos throughout the NBA season here on Rockets.com Hi everyone, From today and throughout the season we will communicate through my blog on 24 Media’s NBA GREECE (@nbahellas), which is home to the NBA in Greece. With help from journalist Nikos Papaioannou (@ndpapaioannou), who will carry my thoughts from his keyboard to all of you guys. I am already in Houston for two weeks and I am trying to adjust in a new way of life and a new chapter of my career. Life in the US has a totally different rhythm in comparison with what I’m used in Greece. There are huge differences even in the way of life. Even going out for dinner, I have to plan in advance and not make it a last minute thing. Another difference is that downtown Houston is like a business center, so there is not too much to do there. I heard that the people in Houston prefer to live in the suburbs. Downtown Athens or Barcelona are much more crowded than downtown Houston, which is quieter, especially during the off hours. Right now, I am in the process of house hunting. Still haven’t found a place. I guess I’m thinking with the European mentality. I would love to get a house next to the Toyota Center, like the hotel I stay at right now, which is next door. Since my family and friends will be visiting town a lot, I am looking for a place that will serve them as well, when I’m on the road. In the sense that they can go for coffee by foot or for a walk to the mall...
Fair enough and makes sense, maybe not so out of left field? To be clear, Peja has no athletic ability so he could possibly be a next of kin. :grin:
Prefer the google translation. It sounded funnier. Except the off the chain part obviously So this guy can stroke it, and is left handed. Dadakota is gonna ride this guy hard. Sorry, your career is over.
I like what I see so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtjqHAs9Roc This guy doesn't play soft. He plays with swag.
The Rockets are paying him 4.8m which is supposedly the highest ever first year for a 2nd rounder - very strange for a Morey move. He has a high motor and shot 60% 2p FG. Other than that though, he doesn't do anything particularly well. Will he prove his worth and pan out?
