HOLY SHIT IT WORKED! I just invented time travel! I was sitting back in 2015 and now all of a sudden the 2016 draft has passed. I'm gonna be rich once I patent this shit.


Euroleague - try not being a total troll for once. change the thread to say "potential" number one pick or some shit. The guy isn't even projected to be number 1 on any mocks and you are already listing him as the number 1 pick? I mean he looks decent but still try not being such a ****ing idiot for once.

This guys looks really good. I don't get why people are hating on him. I watched more videos on him and I can see he can definitely be a solid NBA player, or even better depending on how he adjusts to the NBA game.


He has long arms, and if he were to join the NBA, perhaps the longest in the league followed by Giannis. That is a HUGE factor, as it could tremendously make his post game unguardable if he can develop a good post game.

He can run the floor and is mobile. Most bigs cannot actually run the floor, and those that can are actually 4s that play the 5.

I might get bashed for this, but he reminds me of a raw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

It all depends though how well he develops. He needs to come to the NBA and not start overseas. But I can tell he is more interested in the NBA anyways.

I know he is only 17, but he needs to get in NBA shape starting now if he plans to do anything in the NBA.

:biggums:

Giannis was about the 10th best player on a team in the THIRD division in Greece when he was 17.

He also tried out for Olympiacos' roster (a first division team in Greece) when he was 18 and failed to make the team.

So yes, Papagiannis is a FAR BETTER and MORE ADVANCED player at the same age.

By leaps and bounds.

He's not "staying overseas". He's on a contract that maintains his amateur status, even with playing for a Euroleague team.

He's in talks right now with about 15 different NCAA schools. He's 50/50 going to play a year in the NCAA, then go to the NBA, or stay one year in Greece, and then go to the NBA.

His contract with Panathinaikos even stipulates an option for immediate release with no real buyout restrictions upon being drafted, and they said the only way he was staying there was if he was not drafted.

So you are just making up bullshit - as usual.

Euroleague
02-21-2015, 10:01 PM

Yes, that's right. The reason he decided not to stay in the US for his senior year of high school basketball was because the competition was so much lower than he had been getting being able to train in the Greek League the previous two years.

So his father decided to have him go back to the Greek League, especially since he got to sign with an actual Euroleague team (highest level in Europe) and he could then get much higher training, coaching, and play against much better players than in high school in USA for a year.

His father felt his game actually regressed last year in the USA playing against high school players, instead of professional players.

And so then he would be better prepared to play in NCAA next season, than if he stayed in high school. Their main plan has always seemed to be that they want him to play in NCAA for a year. And from what I know a lot of schools are going after him very hard.

7'1 with a 38' vert would mean he gets his head 3 inches over the rim. None of the clips show anything remotely close to even mid 20's capabilities, so even if he has that massive vert, what good is it that he can barely apply a fraction of it in actual games?

06-27-2015, 11:43 PM
Watching Papagiannis play in the first game of FIBA World Under-19 Championship, he looked about 1, maybe even 2 inches taller than his teammate Georgios Tsalmpouris.

Tsalmpouris plays at Iowa State, and he's listed at 7-1 by them, and he was supposedly measured at 7-1 1/2 in shoes.

Papagiannis looks like he's at least 7-2, and maybe even 7-3 now.

That's funny, because he had so many lob dunk type slams in the first game of FIBA Under-19 World Championship that I lost count.

Not a single player on Team USA can get even close to as high as he can.

He was dunking absolutely everything that even came near his vicinity.

Euroleague
06-28-2015, 03:36 AM
So, was he dominating his competition when he played high school basketball in the U.S?

No. And if you watch him play in junior levels in Greece not really either. Same thing happened a few days ago when Greece played against USA in a friendly, he had so many chances to just destroy USA team, but they were missed because of timing.

Problem is that at junior levels, the guards don't understand the proper timing of when and where to throw him the ball. They simply have no idea of what to do with such a giant like this.

And how could they? Where would they ever have seen such a freak like this ever before, let alone played with him?

But when he plays in Panathinaikos senior team in Greek men's league for the limited time, it looks totally different. he can get the good looks from the guards and he just destroys everyone.

Actually, after that last game in Greek under 19 team played against USA, the Greek coach, that is a professional coach in Greece's men's league (not a junior level coach) was really mad at all the Greek guards and kept demanding at them to get the ball to Papagiannis in right place and right time so he can finish the dunks, instead of everything being timed wrong on his jumps.

He said he was making the guards work on it until they understand how to do it right. It's different with professional players that just understand things like that.

But in the first game of the tournament, the guards were doing a lot better and only missed like 3 or 4 passes the whole game. And when they did the coach was on them hard over it.

Most of the passes were timed correctly, and it was just unbelievable watching this BEAST go to work. It was like young Shaq out there. Everything in the area around the basket was being thrown down viciously.

Guys were running away. He was dunking all over people. This guy is a FREAK OF NATURE.

I've never seen anything like him at that size since young Shaq.

He can run the floor, block shots everywhere, control the rebounding on both ends, and just dunk the hell out of everything. And if you get him away from the rim, he just lowers his shoulder and powers into you with a deadly hook shot.

Sorry, you were right. Given his pathetic stats in his own age group in Europe, he is nowhere near a #1 NBA pick, and more than likely, will follow the many other 7-0+ busts that Europe has provided the NBA.

Doesn't look that good. He isn't going number 1 either.

Is there a single mock where he is going first? Didn't think so.

Number one is a stretch for me but i think he will be one of those euros who shoot up once they start work outs and interviews, people will say "if he were American he'd be in talks for top 3"

All gifs, no decent responses from you.

Why isn't this guy more highly touted OP? You seem to be the only person in the world pegging him as some great athlete and talent. How is everyone else so wrong?

Lmfao at Euroleague hyping up this no name prospect like he's young Shaq or Lebron. You know you suck when LAZ devotes time away from his Wilt novels to shit on you.

Another name quickly gaining momentum is Greek sensation Georgios Papagiannis, who will reportedly be working out in front of more than 20 NBA teams soon. The 7'2" Papagiannis is wowing scouts with his athleticism and feel for the game at such a young age.

"This kid has great pedigree," one league source, who loved Kristaps Porzingis' game last year, told me. "He plays at top level in Greece, as well as national team experience. If he went to St. Johns or Kentucky, he would be a lottery pick."
