    From around the 30-min mark onward Kostas looked dead - he ran the floor on a couple of fast breaks but couldn't get back on defense in time and his man scored on hi once, penetrated and passed another time. When he did get back on defense and at every dead ball, he's doubled over on his knees. Strangely he seems to be the only one though!
    Hope he's in proper shape when it's NBA time.

    Edit: he just hadn't been subbed out for a long time; he's fine afterwards.

    He does have decent skill though: crossed over a couple of times, had a nice hook from the right base line, stroked a couple of threes. Looks like an interesting prospect even if he's not known for his ball handling.

    Change Parsons picture to Casspi. Ariza is Parsons replacement basketball wise.

    That's fine with me. Give me Papanikolaou over Cassipi. And give me Ariza over Parsons (at half the price). More than happy with that.

    He's shot 42.5% from 3 throughout his Euroleague career. Ray Allen better look out.

    Nice back-up to Ariza. Improves our depth. I doubt he will be much more than that.

    Adding his Championship & MVP pedigree with Solid D, Basketball IQ, Athleticism, Hustle, Ability to play SG, Movement away from the ball... I actually see some more light in this seemingly disenchanted off-season.

    Solid start, gets the rebound and pushes it

    Then hits the fastbreak 3.

    I'm liking him
