not to be redundant...vspan is not good enough to be a rotation player on a good nba team. there is nothing wrong with that...he can still have a good european career and that is pretty darn good. but nothing about his play in that tournament is overwhelming

IMO vspan is not suitable to a NBA team, but it's not because he is not good enough, it's because of the playing style difference between NBA clubs and FIBA teams. Most of the FIBA teams play team basketball, while NBA teams play star basketball, This is the main reason he can't fit in here.

IIRC, a year ago, when he just arrived in Houston,some local reporter asked him how he would adapt to the american style of basketball. He replied with something like "it's still basketball" with confidence. Guess he was wrong about that.

Greece lost to Lithuania and failed to qualify for the Olympics.

Spanoulils, 1 for 9, 2 points in 16 minutes of play.

I blame the Greek coach for not developing him more during earlier rounds.

Spanoulis blames the coach for not playing him more by reminding him that he was the Papaloukis of the NBA.
