Should the Greek NT rebuild in 2016 or continue with the the same group that has consistently underperformed since 2007? Should the coach be changed?
A rebuilding team would not be able to compete for medals right away, but hopefully they would become competitive in a few years.
In order to rebuild, Zisis, Bourousis, Spanoulis, Perperoglou, Kaimakoglou would have to leave the team. New additions would be: Papapetrou, Pappas, Agravanis. And in 2017-2018, we could add Charalampopoulos, Papagiannis, Bochoridis.
The early retirement from the NT of shadow-of-his-former-self Papanikolaou also needs to be seriously considered.
Potential 2016 rebuilding squad:
Calathes, Mantzaris
Sloukas, Pappas, Papapetrou
Antetokounmpo
Printezis, Agravanis
Koufos
Gaps in backup small forward and backup center will eventually be filled by Charalampopoulos and Papagiannis.
