Really? You need to check back when Kostas has at least 25 games under his belt. He will still be great coming off the bench and this years bench is already outplaying last years bench on the D side of the court.
this guy is looking pretty damn nice. he is this years delfino but younger and better defender. has vision. insert morey pic
I am very impressed by his basketball IQ. His shooting will develop over time. We've seen what he is capable of shooting.
Pop got Dwight his easiest buckets of the night AND got Dorsey a bucket too.. Is Pop getting votes for rookie of the year yet?
Very productive off the bench tonight, even with the poor shooting. Played the stretch 4 superbly when DMo picked up those two early fouls. 8pts/7rbs/5ast, great stat line for him
He has shot 50% over a Euro season before (from 3 point land that is). 52.1% in 2012/13 --> that is on 3.1 attempts per game (so not just a few random makes). Seems statistically like a good shooter if you look at his accomplishments over the years. Certainly someone you would expect to be in the mid to high 30s %
Kostas Larry Legend Jr Papanikolaou played 37 minutes tonight. More minutes than Bev. I earlier said I would not trade KPop for any player in the 2014 draft including Wiggins. I'm sticking to that. He went 3 of 10 but was +15 when he was on the floor. The dude just knows how to make plays that give you a lead or hold one. insert humping gif
Kostas is outstanding. I never envisioned him playing this well. He passes and moves the ball so well and his defense is so good. I watch him and just shake my head because he does not appear to have any real athleticism but he is so effective.
Is this the stretch 4 we have been looking for? scary part there is usually an adjustment period into the nba. either euro league is better than we thought, he is playing out of his ass, he is really this good, small sample size - calm down?
I never thought there could be a better glue guy than CP, but I was wrong. Papasito is awesome. If he starts consistently hitting his 3's, we will hard to stop. The only thing I worry about is the rookie wall.
