Given the pre-olympic tournament is going to start soon, I think it is time to start discussing the Greek national team.
First of all, at least for the pre-Olympic tournament, it looks like all Antetokoumpos will be heading well into the NBA play off phase and will not be able to participate during the Olympics. Papanikolaou also looks to be out because he is recovering from injury. On the other hand, Spanoulis, Koufos and Bourousis all showed interest in participating.
So this is the team Coach Rick Pitino can assemble in a month or so.
Papagiannis, Koufos, Bourousis
Printezis, Mitoglou
Papapetrou, ?
Sloukas, Dorsey, Larentzakis
Calathes, Spanoulis
Likely not able to participate:
Papanikolaou
Thanassis A.
Giannis A.
Kostas A.
Looks like this team definitely has some more firepower behind the arc. Would be a great team if the SF is covered and Giannis will be present. I don't know if they have any chances to make the Olympics though. I guess it will highly depend on what players Canada and Turkey can assemble as well.
