    Thanasis Adetokoubo, who is the older brother of Giannis Adetokoubo, played at the Greek All Star Game and was also selected for the slam dunk contest.

    At the all star game it is said that the coaches measured his vertical jump at 43 inches.

    Here is a new YouTube mix of him:

    I like the colorful basketball/volleyball/indoor soccer you have over there.

    He’s pretty athletic. But so is James White. Can this guy do anything else?

    Jumped over a guy his size.

    Shows nice hands, and good alley oop awareness.

    How long is this guy 6’10 and 7’4 wingspan i can guess?

    How is his BKB IQ?
    Can he defend the post?
    Has some post hook?
    Can he shoot a 15 footer?

    Too many questions, however, potential is there, Ibaka type Athleticism, lenght and build at the same age.

      If you watch him in games, compared to the other players he looks about 6’6″ or 6’7″. The main reason is he is said to have a 43 inch vertical jump.

    Maybe he is 6´7 barefoot ( as most Europeans are measured), and something like 6´8 and a quarter on shoes, he looks very tall, maybe the competition is very small. But amazing wingspan anyway.

    Saw a video of him actually shooting and making layups http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y_ws_a7U0U

    looks athletic, not nba ready thas for sure, but has potential

    I think Giannis is better.

      Thanasis is currently better, but Giannis is younger, has a more unique skillset, has better size and is younger. All that adds up to the younger brother having more potential.

        Of course I meant: better suited for the nba game. That combination of size and skill is scarce. Athletic wings with raw offense are everywhere.

          Thanasis is a decent ball handler, a decent shooter, and he can create his own shot. He also has solid 3 point shooting range.

          I don’t know how this is “raw offense”. He does not have “raw offense”.

    How old is he I don’t feel like looking him up. But just from the video alone it’s evident he has the potential to play in the NBA based off of his world class athleticism. That guy is a special leaper and has a great build. He certainly has enough physical tools to play in the league.

      If he was in USA, his age class would be NCAA college junior.

    I see a lot of athlete, not much basketball player in this kid. I definitely think Giannis is the better pro prospect going foward.
