The team lacks everything apart from the NBA MVP and plethora of Antetokoumpos.
Kostas Antetokounmpo will definitely be cut as he has limited experience at a high level. He's just along for the experience.Mi imamo svoga boga, on se zove Bodiroga.

Wouldn't have minded a zone breaker like Fotsis on the team though. But for now Greece lacks such a player.
I am not sure if Koufos' absence is too bad. This means that someone like Dorsey or Larentzakis can join instead. Perhaps this can work to Greece's advantage.PAO EUROPEAN CHAMPION 1996 - 2000 - 2002 - 2007 - 2009 - 2011

Originally posted by Victorious View PostGreece actually was one of the best shooting teams during last Eurobasket. I believe Greece was 4th percentage wise. Greece lacks pure shooters, but many can shoot respectable numbers. Sloukas, Papanikolaou, Papapetrou, Bourousis, Printezis. Even Giannis has developed his shot during the last two seasons. And Larentzakis, Vasilopoulos, Dorsey, Athineou can shoot as well.

Career average in EL or NBA (not in domestic leagues):
Sloukas: 0.406
Papanikolaou: 0.373
Dorsey: 0.366
Mantzaris: 0.365
Bourousis: 0.345
Papapetrou: 0.343
Printezis: 0.329
I think too much hype is being made about surrounding Giannis with shooters. Greece should play like Greece as always and simply add Giannis in the mix.Last edited by Victorious; 07-06-2019, 05:27 PM.PAO EUROPEAN CHAMPION 1996 - 2000 - 2002 - 2007 - 2009 - 2011

Originally posted by EverGreen View PostThe premiminary squad for the WC2019 is:
Giannis Athineou, Giannis Adetokounmpo, Thanasis Adetokounmpo, Kostas Adetokounmpo, Panagiotis Vasilopoulos, Nick Calathes, Antonis Koniaris, Giannoulis Larentzakis, Vaggelis Mantzaris, Dinos Mitoglou, Giannis Bourousis, Tyler Dorsey, Giorgos Papagiannis, Kostas Papanikolaou, Ioannis Papapetrou, Giorgos Printzezis, Christos Saloustros and Kostas Sloukas.
No invites for Zach Auguste, Kostas Koufos or Zach Mitrou-Long.
The final 12 baring injuries should be:
PG Nick Calathes, Kostas Sloukas.
SG Giannoulis Larentzakis, Tyler Dorsey
SF Thanasis Adetokounmpo, Kostas Papanikolaou, Ioannis Papapetrou,
PF Giannis Adetokounmpo, Dinos Mitoglou, Giorgos Printzezis
C Giannis Bourousis, Giorgos Papagiannis
We are quite limited in guard positions as well as at C
Calathes 28, Sloukas 12
Sloukas 16, Dorsey 14, Larentzakis 6, Papapetrou 4
Papanikolaou 18, Papapetrou 14, T. Antetokounmpo 8
G. Antetokounmpo 18, Printezis 18, Mitoglou 4
Bourousis 16, G. Antetokounmpo 14, Papagiannis 10
It will be interesting to see if the aging former core of the team - Papanikolaou, Printezis, Bourousis - accept sub-20 MPG roles.
G. Antetokounmpo, Sloukas, Calathes are obviously the key players, with Dorsey and Papapetrou as X factors.
What happened to Agravanis? He used to be on the path to becoming a core NT player.

Agravanis was never a Greek NT caliber player. He was good enough because of absences. Ofcourse, he can become better, but he was injured.PAO EUROPEAN CHAMPION 1996 - 2000 - 2002 - 2007 - 2009 - 2011
